The band released the debut single, "NYC Girls" in July 2013, but soon went inactive.[5] After the disbandment of NY5, Newsome moved to Berlin, Germany to work with the boy band, New District, however decided to pursue his solo career and study at Berklee College of Music in Boston.[2] Later, New District was nominated at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards for the Next Big Thing category.

In February 2016, Newsome opened for Phillip Phillips at The Stone Pony along with A Great Big World and Matt Nathanson.[6] Newsome independently released his debut extended play, Medicine in March 2016. The following single, "Bellevue" was well-received by several music media, including Kick Kick Snare and Girl's Life.[7][8] In 2017, Newsome moved to Los Angeles and made money working as a session singer, while contributing the vocals for Said the Sky and Origami song, "Affection" (2018) and writing songs for the artists such as Plvtinum and Matt Sato.[2]
