In 2005, Pallaso moved to the United States. He started working there and kept up his music career. He put out a few songs, and while he was in the U.S., he changed his name from Lizard to Pallaso. He worked with a Lewiston, Maine, rapper named The Mess, and the two of them made an album called "change" in 2013.
In 2014, the self-proclaimed king of the East joined forces with Shaggy and DJ Hidrro to make the song "Remain in our hearts," which was dedicated to heroes who had died, like Michael Jackson and Notorious BIG. After he got back from the U.S., he worked with Radio and Weasel as part of the Goodlyf crew to make a hit song called "Amaaso." The song was a big success and gave his music career a new lease on life. It topped most of Uganda's music charts.

Controversy
