D4vd got his start in the music industry by using his songs in his Fortnite gameplay videos in 2021.
“The first song I made was Run Away, a super slow song where I was just trying to figure out my sound,” he revealed to VMAN. “And then I made You and I, which is the first song I ever put in a montage. It was just for the montage, I didn’t expect much. But then, people started using it in their montages, and I was like, ‘Okay, this could be something,’ so I kept making songs.”
He released hit singles in the years thereafter, including Run Away, Romantic Homicide, Here with Me, and My House Is Not a Home, among others.
In April 2025, he dropped his debut album, Withered.
“I feel like my music can be viewed as myself talking to somebody or myself talking to myself,” he told Atwood in 2025. “It’s a love-hate relationship between the mindsets that I have, like, how my brain switches or the evolution of my personality, and how I’m growing and maturing. It’s like growing out of certain things and approaching situations differently.”
