His debut extended play (EP), Umbrella Club EP, was self-released on October 7 as a free download.[8]

"Call" was the only song released by him in 2016, within November, featuring vocals from Cheney.[9] In December, he was featured on the mix SnowTape Vol. 5, during the SnowGlobe Festival, releasing "ID" as part of the track listing.[10]

As an artist, Kasbo started to gain recognition in 2017. In April, featuring guest vocals from Chelsea Cutler, "Found You" was released on San Holo's bitbird and later premiered on Billboard.[11] In 28 June, the Keiynan Lonsdale-featured song "Lay It on Me" premiered on Billboard as the lead single from his then-unannounced debut album.[12] The second single, "Bleed It Out", featured Nea and premiered on 24 October on EDM Sauce.[13]
