In 2004, Valdes discovered American singer T-Pain and managed his career in a joint venture with RCA Records for ten years. In 2012, Valdes signed pop singer Austin Mahone to his first recording contract in a joint venture with Universal Republic Records, and later Cash Money Records the following year.[7] In 2018, he became the manager of Orlando, Florida-based rapper 9lokkNine. He produced his song "223's" (featuring YNW Melly), which was released commercially the following year as Melly's single; where it then reached at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That same year, Valdes shifted focus onto further work in production and songwriting.[8][9]

In the following years, he has been credited on the singles "Jump" by DaBaby, "Tick Tock" by Young Thug, "Alone" by Kim Petras and Nicki Minaj, and "Blick Blick" by Coi Leray. He produced and co-wrote Saweetie's 2021 single "Best Friend", which became a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, peaked on the Rhythmic chart, and was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. He has contributed to Lil Durk's 2023 single "All My Life", which won Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
