In 2019, Hossler joined social media platform TikTok. Over the course of a few months, he gained millions of followers on the app with a total of 7.6 million by August 2020.[3] By December 2020, he had accumulated over 9 million followers on the platform.[5] Following his success on the platform, Hossler was invited to join talent agency Talent X and join the Sway House, a Los Angeles-based collective of content creators.[3]

Hossler began his music career in February 2020, when he self-released his debut single "Comatose".[10] The single caught the attention of American musician Travis Barker, who signed him to his label DTA Records in a joint deal with Elektra Records.[10][7] In May and July 2020, respectively, Hossler released the singles "Angels & Demons" and "So What".[3] In August 2020, Hossler released the song "Pray" in which he opens up about his depression and suicidal thoughts, using the song to fundraise for suicide prevention.[11] In October 2020, it was announced that Hossler was signed into a global co-publishing agreement with Warner Chappell Music.[2] On October 21, 2020, he released a collaboration with Iann Dior, titled "Tonight".[12] On December 18, 2020, Jxdn released the single "Better Off Dead", co-written by Lauv and Blackbear with co-production from Travis Barker.[4] Jxdn also revealed the title of his upcoming debut studio album Tell Me About Tomorrow, scheduled for release in early 2021.[4]

In January 2021, Hossler appeared in Machine Gun Kelly's film Downfalls High.[13] Later in the same month, Hossler released a rock version of Olivia Rodrigo's debut single "Drivers License" with production from Travis Barker.[14]
