At the same time, he produced, directed and filmed various videos and was nominated five times for best rap music video @ the MTV-Brasil Vídeo Music Awards. By 99 he moves to São Paulo, where he was motivated to play due to the true rush of things, he sweated night and day to play in as many parties as he could get his hands on, until he was noticed by the Klatu crew at that time it was a most authentic temple and was headquaters to trance in São Paulo. At the end of that same year he was invited by Klatu to be their resident dj, after that he started being invited to the major gigs all over the nation.
