Morgxn contributed vocals on two Tiësto tracks in 2015: "Fighting For" and "Change Your World".[6] His debut single "Love You With the Lights On" was released in June 2016.[7] He collaborated with Janelle Kroll on her 2017 single "Looose", and makes an appearance in the video.[8] His 2018 single "Home" featuring Walk the Moon,[9] a re-recording of his own song from 2016,[10] peaked at #11 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart,[11] and #25 on the Billboard Rock Airplay chart.[12]

His first album, Vital, was released on May 18, 2018.[13] The song "alone/forever" features the indie electronic band The Naked and Famous, and the album's final track is a slowed-down cover version of The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry".[14] Morgxn made his national television debut on January 8, 2019, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing "Home" with Walk the Moon. He also performed "Me Without You" on the show.[15] On January 25, 2019, he released vital : blue, an EP of pared-down versions of some of the songs from his album Vital, and a new song with Nicholas Petricca.[16] On May 17, 2019, he released the single "A New Way".[17] The music video premiered on the GLAAD website.[18] On August 2, 2019, he released the single "OMM!" which stands for "Out of My Mind".[19] On July 16, 2020, he released his first single "Wonder" as an independent artist.[20]
