During this time, Mathias Kellner also worked on his debut album This Ocean Life . The name is based on the Counting Crows album This Desert Life , of which he is a big fan. His first single from this album, Bees in my Head , achieved a respectable success in southern Germany.

The second album Hey Dude was released in 2010 and contained the hit single iSong , with which Kellner became known beyond the borders of Bavaria. Kellner's musicians can also be seen for the first time in the video for the song. Florian Sprenger, Johannes Molz and Andreas Schechinger have accompanied the singer live and during album productions ever since.

He was supported by the drummer of his band, Andreas Schechinger, and the trumpeter Dominik Glöbl (Die Bayerischen Löwen). He also asked the moderator of the festival, Sebastian Horn ( Bananafishbones ), to perform a duet on stage. The performance was broadcast live on Bayerischer Rundfunk .

On April 29th, 2015 Kellner released his second solo CD Zeitmaschin ' , which he produced, recorded and mixed together with his long-time drummer Andreas Schechinger. The album is the first to be released on alpinrecords. It is a collaboration between Kellner's label Südpolrecords and Sony Music Entertainment . An animated video was also made for the first single from the long player Kloana Bua .

Kellner's third dialect album, Kettnkarussell , was released in autumn 2016 . The official release was preceded by the two singles Hauptsach and Kettnkarussell , which could only be heard and seen via video on YouTube . The Kettnkarussell-Tour 16/17 of the same name also started in autumn 2016 , during which Kellner had the singer-songwriter Otto Schellinger with him for the first time both as support and as an accompanying musician.

Tanzcafé Memory was recorded, produced and mixed by him. In addition, on the tour for the CD, Kellner began to add cabaret pieces to his live show for the first time.
