In 1993 he went solo and until now released about a dozen albums and garnering immense success with his peculiar mix of disco, schlager, funk, Balkan brass music, dance electronica and quirky sense of humour. For a time, he's been releasing his albums on Sony Music and has been also succesfull in some other countries such as Italy and the former Yugoslav republics (one of his songs even found its way to music charts in Japan). Today, a number of his songs (some of them also written for others) are considered to be a part of Slovenian popular music history.
