After high school, Greenwell moved to Nashville, TN and threw himself fully into music realizing his music dreams, while also dealing with surviving on his own for the first time. Juggling several jobs, Greenwell single-handedly wrote all 13 songs on his first studio album titled "My Life On the Radio".
2010–2012: ''JoseyTV''

To test out the response he might get, he decided to acoustically cover a mainstream radio song to see people's reaction. Ironically, his first video is to date his most notable one, where he acoustically plays and whistles "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears. She later posted his rendition on her official webpage and Tumblr claiming, "she was amazed." This cover Charted on YouTube's trending and "Most Watched" lists.
