Early life

[edit]

Witzigreuter was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a location he frequently mentions in his music. At the age of 11, his mother signed him up for drum lessons.[10] This led to him playing the drums in bands throughout middle school and high school.[11] After becoming acquainted with other instruments, he began touring with bands and writing songs at the age of 16.[10] As a seventeen-year-old, Witzigreuter participated in various bands playing drums for the ska band Take Sides and the hardcore band Saints Never Surrender.[12] Witzigreuter was credited on Saints Never Surrender's sophomore album, Brutus, which was released in 2008.[13] He was also in the acoustic band brideandgroom.[14]

Career

[edit]

2007–09: Syntax and Bright Lights and Tantrum Castle

[edit]

In 2007, Witzigreuter began making music independently in the basement of his childhood home under the name the Ready Set.[15] He decided to go under this name because of his long last name and felt that the Ready Set was better and easier to say. According to Witzigreuter, the name refers to being "ready to set all of your fears and worries behind and just do what you really want to do."[16] His first two albums Syntax and Bright Lights and Tantrum Castle were released in 2008.[17][18] Initially uploading his music to the once popular Myspace, Witzigreuter then began performing his music live. His first performances took place at The Mocha Lounge in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a coffee shop where he worked.[19][20] His performances evolved to that of a live band, and he began performing for music festivals. These included The Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left,[21] the Bamboozle Roadshow,[22] and the mtvU VMA Tour.[23] He also opened for bands like Boys Like Girls and Never Shout Never.[24] He released a three-track EP, Stays Four the Same on June 23, 2009, via iTunes.[25]

2016–18: I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love and V1 & V2

[edit]

Following a one-year hiatus of releasing music under the Ready Set, Witzigreuter signed with Hopeless Records in November 2015.[73] Upon his return as the Ready Set, Witzigreuter stated in a 2016 interview with Alternative Press that he almost ended the Ready Set following the release of The Bad & the Better.[74] He felt that he was in a "weird spot at the end of 2014," feeling like he wasn't "progressing" as an artist and cited burn out as a reason for taking a break as the Ready Set and starting Nekokat.[75] While working on the new side project, it helped motivate him into writing music again and helped him learn a lot about production.[75]

On February 5, 2016, "Good Enough" was released as the lead single from his fifth studio album, I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love.[75] The album's second single, "Disappearing Act" was released on March 11.[76] The album was officially released on April 8, which was written, produced and engineered by Witzigreuter by the end of 2015.[75] The album peaked at number 24 on the US Independent Albums chart.[77] In May 2016, he collaborated with Haitian DJ Michael Brun and released a remix to "Good Enough".[78] The remix version peaked at number 40 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.[79] The Ready Set embarked on the Fight For Something tour in the spring of 2016 with Tonight Alive, Set It Off and SayWeCanFly.[80] He also joined Emblem3 and Megan Nicole on tour in July 2016.[81]

2019–2022: Onlychild

[edit]

In mid-2019, Witzigreuter temporary took a step back from The Ready Set and adopted a new name, Onlychild.[88] He stated that the reasoning for this decision was to create "something where the initial love of the thing came from."
