Groovejet sold over two million copies and was the first song to be played on an iPod. When he was a teenager, he was already introducing himself to the world of Italian house and dance music. In 1997, he released his first single, "Laguna". Billed as Laguna, in 1997 Spiller teamed up with fellow Italian producer Tommy Vee, to release the single "Spiller From Rio (Do It Easy)", which reached number 40 in the UK Singles Chart. In 1998, he signed a music deal with the British record label, Positiva Records, a subsidiary of EMI UK, releasing his first solo single in the UK entitled "Batucada". In 1999, he released "Mighty Miami EP", a maxi-single including the instrumental track "Groovejet".
In 2000, the vocal version was released. "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" featuring the British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor (formerly of theaudience) peaked at #1 in the UK, Australia and many other countries, becoming one of the most successful dance records of the year and winning multiple awards. It was also the first song to be played on an iPod according to technology journalist Steven Levy and the BBC's TOTP2 Goes Disco!. Groovejet sold over 2,000,000 copies worldwide.
In 2002, he released "Cry Baby" in UK, Royksopp did a remix, which became a classic downtempo. In 2003, Spiller decided to take control over his own productions and he launched his own label Nano Rec, based in Venice (Italy) with "Sola" a groovy disco track with a French touch flavor. In the UK the single was supported by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.
In 2006, Spiller released "Jumbo", his most recent release to date, which peaked at #1 on the Buzz Chart.
In 2009 he remixed "Teen Drive In", a song from a new italian act named Useless Wooden Toys, and made it into a national hit with the infamous riff "siete pro, siete pro, siete pronti per lo show!". Spiller is now back with "Pigeonman's Revenge", an epic instrumental track that brings back his original disco house roots.
