Rådström got his start writing songs in the basement of his home. Upon hearing his music, his friends were impressed by his creativity and encouraged him to reach out to various record labels in order to share his music with a larger audience. Impatient with the pace of the labels and with an eagerness to share the project with the world, Rådström and his friend and collaborator Rabus took matters into their own hands, formed the Neiked Collective, and released the music independently. The two of them are the founding parts of the independent label Neiked Collective. The collective has since appeared on shows such as BBC Live Lounge and on Scandinavian talk shows, showcasing the young producer's work in an unorthodox way.{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Artist/NEIKEDMusic/about/|title=NEIKED|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-05}}

In 2018 they released the single "How Did I Find You" featuring Swedish singer and childhood friend Miriam Bryant,{{cite web|url=https://thevogue.com/artists/miriam-bryant/#bio|title=Miriam Bryant|website=Vogue|access-date=5 February 2020|archive-date=19 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220119153954/https://thevogue.com/artists/miriam-bryant/#bio|url-status=live}} which features "a woozy, dusk-drenched pulse".{{cite web|url=https://amnplify.com.au/miriam-bryant-and-neiked-launch-video-for-how-did-i-find-you/|title=Miriam Bryant and NEIKED launch video for How Do I Find You|last=Bruce|first=Dave|website=Amplify|date=14 November 2018|accessdate=14 November 2018|archive-date=5 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200205073508/https://amnplify.com.au/miriam-bryant-and-neiked-launch-video-for-how-did-i-find-you/|url-status=live}} Neiked released the single "Sometimes" in November 2019, which was called a "big and brassy declaration, [with] engaging production and west-coast warmth".{{cite web|url=https://www.scandipop.co.uk/song-neiked-feat-kes-kross-jackson-penn-sometimes/|title=Song: NEIKED feat.
