After moving to L.A. in 2017, he began to work more closely withJames Blake, co-producing and co-writing a number of tracks on the albumAssume Form.^[6] Through this he worked with Jay-Z on "MaNyfaCedGod".^[2]

He professes to not listening to much music outside work but has often been forced to in his new role as a producer for research purposes stating: "I don’t know that world very well, so I need to become more familiar with the things that are going on and the techniques people use...It does feel a little bit like research."^[2]

In 2020, he was announced as co-producer for James Blake's new single "You're Too Precious"^[7] and in May he was announced as the producer ofSlowthai's single "Bodybag".^[8] Along with artists like Erick the Architect fromFlatbush Zombies,^[9] he also co-produced James Blake's latest release, theBefore EP, and together with Blake, they producedStarrah's single "Keep Calm" which was released on 23 October 2020.^[10]

Maker collaborated on the tracks "Feel Away", "Focus" and "Push" from Slowthai's UK number one albumTyron. Following an interview withHighsnobiety, the "Feel Away" collaboration was described by Maker as an “instinctive piece of music”, going on to discuss how the track came to fruition. “You know who would be sick on this?” Ty suggested. “James — James should sing on it.” Maker sent the track to Blake, who was in New York at the time, and received his contribution a day later, with additional vocals and piano.^[11]

In 2021, Maker contributed to the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning short filmTwo Distant Strangers, co-producing the closing track "Two Distant Strangers" which featuresJoey Badass.^[12]
