He won a scholarship to Wells Cathedral School, a specialist music school in the county of Somerset. Ducrot was accepted to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London on a full scholarship where he studied classical flute.
In 2016, Ducrot auditioned for the fifth season of The Voice UK, but did not turn a chair singing "One More Night".
Ducrot said, "I started learning how to produce in school. It was in college that I started taking music seriously and that's when I found out how I could release music and how I could put my music out there and really work to the point where my production and my writing was at a place where I was happy enough with it to put them out. And so that's what started in college was for me... It really embodies what happened to me during those two years, like, all of the different things from falling in love to falling out of love."
Following its release, Ducrot was signed by Darkroom/Interscope Records.
In May 2021, Ducrot released "Know Me Again" featuring Canadian artist Cate. This was followed by "Chewing Gum" in August, "Make Believe" in September "Hello Gorgeous", which is an ode to resilient Women in November and "Happier Without Me" in December 2021.
On 9 December 2021, Ducrot released his debut extended play, Make Believe, which included all the singles released throughout the year. Speaking about the EP, Ducrot said "Making this EP was a very strange but amazing process for me as half of the songs were written before I even knew I was making an EP. It's been years in the making and pulls from so many moments in my life. I have loved discovering new directions and new music and also rediscovering old songs and bringing them to life and, most of all, discovering myself and what matters to me. Most of the EP was made throughout lockdown and the pandemic so it was a lot of days and nights alone and of course on the other side of the planet away from my team at Darkroom & Interscope."
In November 2022, Ducrot released "I'll Be Waiting", which began climbing national charts in early 2023.
In December 2022, Ducrot released a cover of "Hallelujah". In a live video of the song, the musician is joined by the Royal Northern College of Music Student Choir.
In March 2023, Ducrot was announced as the support act for Ed Sheeran on his 4 date UK tour, ahead of Sheeran's upcoming album − ("Subtract"). He released "Part of Me" later that month, which was a tribute to his best friend who ended his life. Ducrot's debut studio album Victory was released on 4 August 2023 and reached number one in Ireland. The album also reached number one in the United Kingdom, selling 10,299 in its first week.
Ducrot's second studio album Little Dreaming was released on 1 August 2025.
