After his first music experience with Nuera, he released his first EP Vitun suomirokki single was very successful as well, having sold over 17 000 copies.
The second single Kanava nolla sold over 9 000 copies and his debut album Mun levy! went on to sell gold in Finland. Mun Levy! was followed by two more albums that never reached the same sales but Petri still had a loyal following in Finland. In 2003 he moved to Chigago and he started to make music in English. He started to gain newfound success over the Internet in 2009 when he released a new album Kaikkee pitää olla, which sold a few thousand copies and included few controversial hit singles. In 2010, Petri Nygård was the most googled person in Finland and thanks to his smash radio hit single Selvä päivä feat. Lord Est, he is once again one of the most popular artists in Finland. At the moment Petri is working on a new video for one of the hits of the upcoming album Märkää.
