The first performances under the name of Schmyt are the collaboration with Yassin for the soundtrack to the novel Taubenleben by Paulina Czienskowski, released in February 2020, and Monoton, a collaboration with Megaloh and Majan, released in April of the same year. As his first own song under the stage name, he released Niemand in the same month. The second single was Taximann; like the first single, produced by Bazzazian. According to Schmit, Bazzazian became aware of him through a demo version of Taximann. The single was strongly oriented to Bad Religion by Frank Ocean.
On April 2, 2021, he released the EP "Gift". As the first single release, the title track appeared as a collaboration with german rapper RIN. The song reached number 49 on the German charts.
He was also nominated for the 1 Live Krone in the category "Best Newcomer Act" in 2021.
The music video for "Universum regelt" announced the debut album of the same name, which was released on May 20, 2022. Criticized in the context of it was the romanticization of the helper syndrome in "Ich wünschte, du wärst verloren" and that of violence in "Scherben und Schnittwunden". In addition to Bazzazian, the album features Alexis Troy, The Elements and RGB1 as producers.

Yeah-yeah, sag mir, sind wir zusammen oder nur zusammen einsam
Greenbow Alabama (Greenbow, Alabama)
Die Stadt, die niemals da war (die Stadt, die niemals da war)
Ich fall' in deine Arme (ich fall' in deine Arme)
Ich stürz' in deine Arme
Deine Lippen sind weich, aber dein Herz ist hart
Und du sagst gar nicht: "Lauf"
Jenny, Jenny
Ich glaub' nicht, dass du mich brauchst
Jenny, Jenny
Du bist gar nicht Jenny (Jenny, nicht, gar nicht voll)
Ich küsse dich, wo du pink bist
Du willst Gift, bis es still ist
So tief in diе Wildnis
Kein Rausch, nur den Filmriss
Du bist so geschmeidig wie Velour
Ich vergeh' wie Zeit auf deiner Uhr
Greenbow Alabama (Greenbow, Alabama)
Die Stadt, die niemals da war
Ich fall' in deine Arme
Ich stürz' in deine Arme, ja
Ich hör' sie kommen, weil
Ganzer Lynchmob naht
Ich flieh' in deine Arme, so wie in Stacheldraht
Und du sagst gar nicht: "Lauf"
Jenny, Jenny
Ich glaub' nicht, dass du mich brauchst
Jenny, Jenny
Du bist gar nicht Jenny (Jenny, bist gar nicht Jenny)
(Und du sagst gar nicht: "Lauf")
(Ich glaub nicht dass du mich brauchst)
The lyrics to schmyt's song "Jenny" appear to be about a complicated relationship, where the singer is unsure if they are truly in a loving, committed partnership or if they are simply together out of a shared sense of loneliness. The first verse mentions drinking Kipp Rosé (a type of wine) to ease the pain, and grinding their hearts (or emotions) together. The chorus repeats the name "Jenny" and suggests that the singer does not believe they are truly needed by their partner. The second verse uses sensual language to describe their physical intimacy, but also implies that Jenny may be using the singer for comfort and to quell some deeper emotional turmoil: "You want poison until it's quiet / So deep into the wilderness / No high, only blackout." As in the first verse, the chorus repeats.
The bridge introduces a new element, with the mention of a "lynchmob" approaching and the singer fleeing (presumably to Jenny for safety). It's unclear who or what the "lynchmob" represents, but it adds a sense of danger to the already complicated relationship between the singer and Jenny. The final chorus repeats the doubts about whether Jenny truly needs the singer.
