Affectionately known as "the Godfather of South Auckland", he was highly regarded for his work in South Auckland in establishing the Urban Pasifika sound, founding Urban Pacifika Records in 1996 with Moizna, AKA Brown, Lost Tribe, and Dei Hamo.
[3] The Otara Millionaire's Club was originally formed in 1993 by Phil Fuemana.
[4] Pauly suggested that they shorten the band's name to just the initials, and thereafter, he and Jansson were OMC.
However, the music was created by both of them, with Jansson co-writing all of the tracks and handling most of the arrangement and production duties in the studio.
The OMC reached worldwide fame in 1995 with the single "How Bizarre", from the debut album of the same name.
