Grabbitz released his first single, "Here With You Now", on the record label Monstercat, in September 2014. It appeared on his debut EP, Friends, which came out a year later. The album also included the singles "Turn Around" and "Friends".

In May 2015, he remixed the track "Build the Cities" by Karma Fields, featuring Kerli. In November, he remixed the song "Get On Up" by Pegboard Nerds and Jauz. Later that month, he issued the single "Float Away", from his upcoming EP Better with Time, which was released in December.

March 2016 saw Grabbitz issue a collaborative single with Pegboard Nerds, titled "All Alone". In November, he published the single "Follow Me", which preceded his debut full-length album, Things Change, released in 2017. In July 2017, he collaborated with Savoy on the single "Contemplate".

In June 2019, Grabbitz released the single "Crazy as You" with Sullivan King. In April 2022, he published his second full-length album, Time Isn't Real, which was followed in August 2023 by yet another studio album, Let Them Only See Butterflies.
