Although his family was not especially musical, his father knew some people from music industry, and Immonen got advice to get him started. In the late 1990s, he started to work mostly on hip hop music, and soon Immonen and Jan Zapasnik founded a record company Fried Music Oy. The first album produced entirely by Immonen was ''Punainen tiili'' by a rapper Asa in 2001.
