He debuted with a major role in the 2007 Swedish film Ciao Bella directed by Iranian-Swedish director Mani Maserrat-Agah. In the film he was credited with his birth name Oliver Wahlgren-Ingrosso.

He has DJed in a great number of venues locally in Sweden and internationally in Toronto, New York, Brazil and Spain.[3]
