From the age of 16, Gordon was an amateur MC in the grime scene, going by the stage name Untitled.

He later formed the crew Behave Yourself alongside Messy, Evolver and Rogue, released the 2009 mixtape Mind Warp and the four-part 2010 EP series Try Me, and left Axe FM due to a belief that emerging streaming services such as Ustream would be a better tool for promoting his music for free.Gordon began online streaming as a DJ in 2022 and shifted to outdoor DJ sets in 2023, performing in public locations around London including squares, car parks, and housing estates. The sets often attract large crowds of passers-by and are broadcast online to audiences on TikTok.
