He also participated in the track Like a Drum by Guy Sebastian and Ziggy Marley's song Lighthouse .

After initial successes, the French DJ and producer David Guetta became aware of him. He invited him to the studio and they began to write the song Lovers on the Sun , which he also sang , together with Avicii and Daddy's Groove, among others . The song was first released on June 30, 2014 and became a huge hit. It was able to reach the top 10 of the official single charts in over 20 countries.
