Posner has collaborated with artists such as Maroon 5, Justin Bieber, Talib Kweli, Pharrell Williams, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Avicii, and Austin Mahone.

Following the deaths of his father in 2017 and his close friend Avicii in 2018, Posner reevaluated his life and priorities. In 2019, he embarked on a life-changing adventure: walking across America from Asbury Park, New Jersey, to Venice Beach, California. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including a rattlesnake bite, he completed his journey in October 2019.

In 2021, Posner climbed Mount Everest, further demonstrating his dedication and resilience. Posner's walk and climbing Everest was not just a physical challenge but also a spiritual and emotional quest. He is an advocate for mental health awareness and engages in practices such as yoga and breathwork to promote emotional and physical well-being. His music often reflects themes of healing, self-discovery, and resilience.

In his ongoing quest for wellness and self-improvement, Posner became certified in breathwork under the guidance of Wim Hof, the renowned "Iceman." This method combines breathing techniques with cold exposure to enhance resilience, energy levels, and overall health. Posner's dedication to mastering this practice underscores his belief in the power of breathwork as a tool for transformation and healing. Posner has led sessions with the San Francisco 49ers and Duke's Men's Basketball teams, resulting in a transformative shift in the relationships among teammates.

“It’s one of those things, no matter what I say or how you try to explain it, you really have to experience it.” – Coach Jon Scheyer, Head Coach, Duke Men’s Basketball. “Best thing I've done for any of my teams.” – Coach Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers.

His story serves as a powerful reminder that success is not just about external achievements but also about inner peace and fulfillment.
