Ducrot grew up in Passage West in Cork, Ireland, where his mother was a concert pianist and flautist. Ducrot joined musicals and drama clubs during his school years. His mother is French and his father is Irish. He won a scholarship to Wells Cathedral School, a specialist music school in the county of Somerset. Ducrot was accepted to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London on a full scholarship where he studied classical flute. In 2016, Ducrot auditioned for the fifth season of The Voice UK, but did not turn a chair singing "One More Night".

In February 2021, Ducrot released his debut single, "Not Usually Like This". This was followed by "Crocodiles" in March 2021, which he says is about "losing a friend and being both angry and hurt about it". In May 2021, Ducrot released "Know Me Again" featuring Canadian artist Cate. This was followed by "Chewing Gum" in August, "Make Believe" in September "Hello Gorgeous", which is an ode to resilient Women in November and "Happier Without Me" in December 2021. On 9 December 2021, Ducrot released his debut extended play, Make Believe, which included all the singles released throughout the year. Speaking about the EP, Ducrot said "Making this EP was a very strange but amazing process for me as half of the songs were written before I even knew I was making an EP. It's been years in the making and pulls from so many moments in my life. I have loved discovering new directions and new music and also rediscovering old songs and bringing them to life and, most of all, discovering myself and what matters to me. Most of the EP was made throughout lockdown and the pandemic so it was a lot of days and nights alone and of course on the other side of the planet away from my team at Darkroom & Interscope."

In April 2022, Ducrot released "All for You", which became his first charting single, peaking at number 2 in Ireland and number 19 in the United Kingdom. A version featuring Ella Henderson was released in August 2022. In November 2022, Ducrot released "I'll Be Waiting", which began climbing national charts in early 2023. In December 2022, Ducrot released a cover of "Hallelujah". In a live video of the song, the musician is joined by the Royal Northern College of Music Student Choir. In March 2023, Ducrot was announced as the support act for Ed Sheeran on his 4 date UK tour, ahead of Sheeran's upcoming album − ("Subtract"). He released "Part of Me" later that month, which was a tribute to his best friend who ended his life. Ducrot's debut studio album Victory was released on 4 August 2023 and reached number one in Ireland. The album also reached number one in the United Kingdom, selling 10,299 in its first week.

In February 2025, Ducrot won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for co-writing SZA's song "Saturn". Ducrot's second studio album Little Dreaming was released on 1 August 2025.
