The first song with vocals "dead in designer clothes" he created in June 2016 and published it on SoundCloud under the pseudonym "restaurantposse 🌟".[2] Already as a producer, he published his productions on the YouTube channel "Kstyk".[3] On October 31, his debut mini-album "hors d'oeuvre" was released.[3] The distribution of the recording in physical form was handled by Asfalt Records.[4]

On May 24, 2019 the song "hot coffee" was released on schafter's channel, an announcement of the new album. The song resonated widely and became the hit of the summer. On November 22, 2019, the album "audiotele" was released on streaming and in stores, with guest appearances by, among others Taco Hemingway, Żabson or Belmondo. The album took 2nd place on OLiS. Universal Music was responsible for the physical release of the album.

On March 12, 2020 a joint song by Young Igi and schafter called "swimming lessons" was released. The song itself was not considered a single from the album, but was eventually included on it. About a year after its premiere, the song was certified gold.[5]
