2015–2016: Career beginnings By 13, Mitchell began performing at local open-mic nights in his hometown and posting covers on YouTube and
Instagram, which helped him gain a significant following.
2017–2018: Hopeful In 2017, Mitchell released his first independent single "Used to Be", a song he wrote at age 13. The song was produced by hip-hop producer and engineer
Mike Dean. "Used to Be" has now gained over 150 million streams. After departing the social media group, Mitchell received interest from many different record labels but eventually decided to sign with
Epic Records. He inked his first major deal with the label in February 2018. Mitchell's first studio EP with Epic,
Hopeful, was released in July 2018. Its lead single "Girls", co-written by Mitchell and
Romans, reached No. 39 on the US
Mediabase pop radio chart.
