In 2020, he was set to make his U.S. debut performance in Miami followed by a full U.S. tour, but the shows had to be cancelled due to the rising concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, Perto signed with Columbia Records and released the single "Jester" on September 8 of that year. Following two additional singles, "Gore" and "Dead On," he released the extended play Bozo on December 1, 2023.
