Dr. Zeus began his career in 1999 where he was signed to the Envy music label based in [[Birmingham]] where he produced ''[[Pure Garage]] - Sue My Ass'' by the Punjabi singer, Balwinder Singh Safri, from the band Safri Boyz. He had two songs on this album, which were "Sahiba Bani Prawa Di" and "Par Langa De Veh". A year later, he went on to produce his second complete album ''Deathjamm 4.5''. This album is a part of the series Deathjamm Collections from the early 90's. On the album he had a pure Punjabi great similar to [[Sabar Koti]] featuring on the main track "Sajno Belio".{{Citation needed|date=April 2007}}. He then released his debut solo album "The High Life" in 2001, on the Envy music label. This album featured the vocals of Amar Arshi singing "Gwandian Da Dhol". Dr. Zeus then released ''Unda Da Influence'' in 2003. Dr. Zeus released his third album, [[The Original Edit]] in 2005 with Lehmber Hussainpuri singing vocals.
