When everything got better again, Joost and his brother and sister came by and saw their mother lying dead on the couch; having suffered a cardiac arrest. His debut single "Bitches" received over 1 Million views on YouTube earning him a deal with TopNotch, but decided to form his own label, Albino Sports instead.
