Early life

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. This led to him playing the drums in bands throughout middle school and high school. After becoming acquainted with other instruments, he began touring with bands and writing songs at the age of 16. 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.

Career

2007–09: Syntax and Bright Lights and Tantrum Castle

In 2007, Witzigreuter began making music independently in the basement of his childhood home under the name the Ready Set. 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." His first two albums Syntax and Bright Lights and Tantrum Castle were released in 2008. 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. His performances evolved to that of a live band, and he began performing for music festivals. These included The Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left, the Bamboozle Roadshow, and the mtvU VMA Tour. He also opened for bands like Boys Like Girls and Never Shout Never. He released a three-track EP, Stays Four the Same on June 23, 2009, via iTunes.

2010–11: I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming and Feel Good Now

In November 2009, Pete Wentz signed Witzigreuter to his label Decaydance Records. An early version of "Love Like Woe" was sent to Wentz who took one listen to it and decided to sign him to the label. He also felt that Witzigreuter was "passionate and believes in himself," hence why he signed him to the label. Recording for his third studio album started in 2009, where he flew out to Los Angeles, Miami and Atlanta, working with different producers. His debut single, "Love Like Woe" was released on March 29, 2010. It was met with commercial success peaking at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 30 on the Canada CHR/Top 40 chart.

2012–15: The Bad & The Better

In January 2012, Witzigreuter began working on a new album in Los Angeles. On May 18, 2012, The Ready Set released the song, "Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)" which was released through Warner Records and later served as the lead single from his fourth studio album, The Bad & The Better.

In May 2012, he confirmed he had finished a third of the album and after finishing writing 25 songs, he planned to continue writing for the majority of the summer, flying out to California during his time off to work on the rest of the album. He hoped for a release date sometime later that year in the fall.

In February 2013, the Ready Set co-headlined a US tour with Outasight. In May 2013, he released a remix EP for "Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)" titled, GMYH V.2.

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

Following a one-year hiatus of releasing music under the Ready Set, Witzigreuter signed with Hopeless Records in November 2015. 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. 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. While working on the new side project, it helped motivate him into writing music again and helped him learn a lot about production.

On February 5, 2016, "Good Enough" was released as the lead single from his fifth studio album, I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love. The album's second single, "Disappearing Act" was released on March 11. The album was officially released on April 8, which was written, produced and engineered by Witzigreuter by the end of 2015.

In 2018, he started to release music independently again with two extended plays: V1 and V2. "Life In Pink" was released on February 15, 2018, as the lead single from V1. He released another single, "Stitch" on July 27, 2018, as the lead single from V2. Another EP, V3, was set for release in October 2018, however was pushed back for a later date.

2019–2022: Onlychild

In mid-2019, Witzigreuter temporary took a step back from The Ready Set and adopted a new name, Onlychild. He stated that the reasoning for this decision was to create "something where the initial love of the thing came from." He also added that he would return to the Ready Set at some point but wanted to focus on Onlychild for the time being. He released his first EP Solstice under that name on July 27, 2019. He also began co-writing for other artists, joining Breathe Carolina on "In the Dark" from their 2019 album, Dead: The Album. In May 2020, Onlychild released the single, "Chardonnay and Tangerine".
