His style of incorporating real sounds into his music garnered him a cult following, but he also achieved a few mainstream hits, including "Kuhchen," a response to the Mad Cow crisis affecting Europe at the time. Flula's notoriety in America first began with his first appearance on Current TV, a docu-piece called "Take Me Home James," about a personalized cab service that happened to pick up Flula, who appeared to be inebriated. The piece was one of Current TV's all-time most popular segments. Flula has had several live appearances regularly at The Viper Room, The Derby, and other venues around Los Angeles.
