Before performing with AZTER, Loyd appeared on Dream Maker under the name JL Macatangay. He later discussed his experience in the competition during an interview on ABS-CBN’s Hotspot in 2023. His television appearances form part of his performance background before ASTER, the group now known as AZTER.

Member profile directories list Loyd as a sub-vocalist and visual, and place him in the AXIS sub-unit. He continued with the twelve-member lineup through its rebrand and the release of univerZity in August 2026.
