And not only in Germany, Fun Factory tracks have climbed high in the charts in Canada, England, Sweden, the Far East, Finland, Poland, France, Italy and in the USA as well, and have made the group one of the most remarkable European acts internationally.
Later Toni continued to produce mega hits for boybands BackstreetsBoys ("Get Down") and N' Sync ("Here We Go", "You Drive Me Crazy"). In the single, "Get Down", Toni featured as a rapper in the song and video, dropping some phat rhymes.
Then, in 1996, Toni left the Fun Factory to start on a project called Booya, which later became one of his most successful times.

In the meantime, he did many remixes as the 7 Gemini and ToneDef. Remixes of songs from The Underdog Project, Daizz and many more.

In the beginning of 2003, Toni Cottura surprised us all by releasing a brand new song, called "Fly", where he is not rapping at all. He sings. This is more like a slow summer-tune like Unckel Kracker's "Follow Me".

Lately, Toni has been producing and also featuring in hits like 2006's summer hit "Quieres Una Aventura" with Corina.
