At UC Berkeley, Norris studied linguistics, and in his free time, began learning more advanced music production and sound design in programs FL Studio and Ableton. He gained online popularity through his SoundCloud profile, getyoursnackon, and various Reddit music threads, where users enjoyed his close remakes of popular songs.
