Career
In 2015, Vicetone released two singles with Kat Nestel titled "Angels" and "Nothing Stopping Me," both on Ultra Music, released a remix for a song from the popular game League of Legends called "Project Yi" and they remixed Hardwell and Tiesto's collaboration, "Colors".
To start off 2016, Vicetone released a new track on Spinnin' Records called "Pitch Black". This was followed by the release of their first EP entitled Aurora, which was released in April before the beginning of a headline tour of the same name. In June 2016, they released the song 'Nevada' to Monstercat in collaboration with Cozi Zuehlsdorff.
In 2018, Vicetone released another single with Cozi Zuehlsdorff titled "Way Back".{{cite web|url=https://www.edmsauce.com/2018/03/09/vicetone-drops-brilliant-new-single-off-monstercat-way-back-feat-cozi-zuehlsdorff/|title=Vicetone drops brilliant new single off Monstercat – 'Way Back' (Feat. Cozi Zuehlsdorff)|author=|date=9 March 2018|website=EDM Sauce|access-date=6 May 2018}}
In 2020, Vicetone rose to international stardom over the rise of their 2014 remix of Tony Igy's song "Astronomia" as an internet meme, in which the remix plays over a group of Ghanaian men dancing while carrying a coffin, a common funeral tradition in Ghana and parts of Africa with the idea of sending off deceased loved ones in style, rather than in the usual manner of mourning.{{cite web |last1=Amter |first1=Charlie |title=Tracing the 'Coffin Dance' Meme Music's Path From Russia to Ghana to the World |url=https://variety.com/2020/music/news/coffin-dance-meme-music-song-astronomia-origin-russia-1234594523/ |website=Variety |date=30 April 2020 |access-date=6 May 2020}}
On 22 January 2021, Vicetone announced that their debut album titled "Legacy" would be releasing on 2 April of that same year. This announcement came alongside the release of its lead single, "No Rest".{{Cite web|last=Stone|first=Katie|title=Vicetone Announces Debut Album, Drops New New Single "No Rest"|url=https://edm.com/music-releases/vicetone-announces-debut-album-legacy|access-date=5 February 2021|website=EDM.com - The Latest Electronic Dance Music News, Reviews & Artists|language=en}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.cultr.com/news/vicetone-drop-new-single-no-rest-off-forthcoming-monstercat-album/ |title=Vicetone Drop New Single "No Rest" Off Forthcoming Monstercat Album |website=CULTR |access-date=22 January 2021}}
