2011

His 2011 debut album Glass Swords won him widespread acclaim.

His music blends disparate genres, including hip hop, rave, and video game music.

Rustie's first instrument was guitar and he bought his first decks at age 15.

He is associated with the subgenre of aquacrunk, a genre described as an experimental offshoot of hip hop that emphasises slowed down, low-slung beats, with lashings of electronic mutterings and morphing basslines.

He believes his work conveys movement and fluidity, and that his creative process is an "immersive world" wrapped up in sound, rhythm, and color.

Rustie's long-time interest in video games has influenced his approach to electronic composition.

In 2011, Rustie released his first album Glass Swords on Warp Records.

Widely celebrated for its meditation on everything from grime and hip-hop, to sci-fi computer games, and even prog rock, Brad LaBonte of Dusted Magazine wrote "Glass Swords contains some of the freshest, most exciting electronic dance music I've heard this year. Put simply, nothing sounds like this record."

Where as Rolling Stone proclaimed it "one of the most thrilling electronic albums of the decade."

2012

In 2012, "After Light" from Glass Swords was included in an Adidas television advertisement featuring British track and field athlete Jessica Ennis prior to the 2012 Olympic Games.

The same year, Glass Swords won The Guardian's First Album Award.

In the midst of Evenifudontbelieve's release cycle and tour, Whyte announced that he would be cancelling all concerts "due to addiction and mental health problems".

"—" denotes single that did not chart.

2014

Rustie released his second album, Green Language, on 26 August 2014 on Warp Records.

In a review of the album, Pitchfork proclaimed that “Part of Rustie's genius is the way he spun so many sounds and ideas into a bright, high-energy electro-funk whose central contradiction—brittle in sound, pliant in structure—turned out to be visionary." Two tracks from the album, 'Raptor' and 'Attak (feat. Danny Brown)', received "best new track" awards by Pitchfork. Following the release, a second single, "Lost" (feat. Redinho), was premiered by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1.

After a show for XOYO Loves at London's Coronet Theatre on 29 November 2014 featuring special guest, rapper Danny Brown, Rustie announced his upcoming 2015, 'Green Language Live' world tour.

The 'Green Language' tour is his largest to date and featured dates across Europe, Australia, the USA and Korea.

The events showcased immersive 3D visuals by A-Rock including lost Egyptian artefacts, swarms of birds amongst other extravagant effects.

Previously, Whyte has played live with collaborators; Redinho at his album launch party hosted at London's Oval Space on 18 September 2014, production/vocal duo AlunaGeorge, and Koreless.

In his review in The Fader, Selim Bulut wrote; "I want to join the cult of Rustie... On his new album EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE, the electronic producer has created a secular gospel. Is it possible to download someone’s consciousness as an album? I don't know if I believe in that, but I definitely believe in Rustie."

Evenifudontbelieve was released via Warp Records, having made two of the singles taken from the album, "First Mythz" and "Peace Upzzz" available for stream only days prior to the release.

Late November 2015, saw Rustie take part in a live Q&A with fans on Reddit, answering questions on a range of subjects including his production techniques, his influences and previous collaborations.
