He was interested in many music genres, at one point especially metal music, his current interest in hip-hop started at age of 15.[3] He began work on his musical career in 1995 at age of 18, when with his friends he started a band Fact. Butelis was lead in the band and took music work very seriously. His solo career as Gustavo began after Fact disbanded.[3]
