After the tour, with the French band, he worked among others with musicians like Jahn Teigen, Alex and Olav Stedje. He also was part of the band Lava, before he suddenly became a pop star when he went solo and released his debut album Den du veit (1981). The title melody was a major plague, and was compared with the ballad Carmen (1983) for always hanging on him. Marius Müller was "Den du veit" (the one you know). Ten years later when interviewed by Verdens Gang, he said that not for anything in the world he would like to experience success of that kind as "popbamse" again. Then he had established himself as a guitarist of far more weight.

In the late 1980s he formed Funhouse and this was his band until it split up in 1997. In Funhouse Müller got showcased his eminent qualities as a guitarist, and the band lived on its reputation as a potent live band on concert stages all across Norway.
