Career
Featherstone started releasing remixes while working on his own original music. In June 2018, he released his first remix for Lauv's song "I Like Me Better" through the YouTube channel Proximity. Ben Allen of ElectroJams reviewed the track saying "In a style reminiscent of an Odesza/Autograf lovechild, Feather infuses the year-old Lauv track with a wash of synths, accented by beefed-up percussion, culminating in cinematic builds and drops".

He released a remix for Timeflies song "Little Bit" on August 10, 2018. One week later, a remix of Loote's song "Wish I Never Met You" was released through Island Records. In 2019, Featherstone remixed Trove's "GTFO", which was released through disco:wax records.

Featherstone released the debut single of his original music, "Safe House", on October 28, 2020. He released his follow up single "Smoke" on December 9, 2020, which was a collaboration with artist Lostboycrow.

He released his debut EP "Becoming" on January 13, 2020. Dancing Astronaut reviewed the EP saying "Becoming is a well-rounded body of work that wholly substantiates Feather’s production dexterity".

On March 5, 2020, Don Diablo, John K, and JLV released the song "Problems", which was written by Featherstone.

He uses Bitwig Studio, Logic Pro, and Ableton to produce his music.
