Mills had a brief but highly publicised tryst with celebrity heiress Paris Hilton at the Melbourne Cup of 2003. He signed a contract with BMG in 2004. His first album Up All Night was released in Australia on June 14, 2004 and debuted in the top 40. The first single from the album "Ms Vanity" was released on May 31 in Australia and debuted at #6 in the Australian singles charts. It is a little known fact, but the song "Ms Vanity" was actually about himself, and so was the song "Overrated".

In November 2004, it was noted that one of Mills' CDs was being sold for 40 cents at various Sanity stores, making it cheaper to buy the album than to vote for Mills on the television show.

During Triple M's Tsunami Fundraiser, where people pledged money to hear their favourite song played, Mills rang up and requested his own song. There was much outrage at Mills and he was the butt of many jokes which was the same as when his record was sold for 40 cents.

However, he recently started hosting Stooged on Channel 10. Stooged is a hidden-camera show where contestants must prove to their closest friends they have done important and extreme things they have not. The show appears to have been cancelled after only one episode.
