Hooligan's career began in 2002, when he worked on the opening theme song of a Smash Television show. In February 2003, he released his debut album Oriġinali Bħali, and it was an immediate hit in Malta. After this success, he performed in many musical events in Malta and Gozo. In summer 2004, he released the single Nieħdu Buzz, which was followed by his second album Hooliġinali in 2006. Hooliġinali also included a music video of Nieħdu Buzz.
