In 1997, under his old name DJ MUGZY, he broke onto the scene producing the 3 joints on the Constellation EP/Single - "Water World" with Born Talent & Jay Love, "Tagz Up" by Jay Love and "For All The Heads" by Born Talent. Right after that single DJ MUGZY offically became The Avid Record Collector.
