"Muggsy Bogues" video

The 2017 music video for "Muggsy Bogues," part of the Facing Giants series, featured a documentary-style approach exploring the experiences of young people with hearing impairments. The technology used in the video allowed viewers to feel vibrations from the music. It received praise for its unique portrayal of the hearing-impaired community.[1][2]

"Savages" single

In 2019, AllttA released "Savages," which used artificial intelligence (AI) to recreate the vocal style of rapper Jay-Z. The track raised ethical questions about AI in music.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

In 2023, AllttA released Curio Parts 1 & 2, an album series accompanied by a limited edition embossed vinyl. The duo also headlined at Paris's Élysée Montmartre in the same year.[11]
