Szymon started work on his album at age 18. Production was put on hold in 2010 due to mental health issues. After his death in 2012 Mark Holland from EMI continued working on mixing the songs and the final result was released in August 2015, titled Tigersapp.[5]
His younger brother Dom, whom is known by others as Donnie, is the drummer of the Australian indie rock group Gang of Youths.
