He returned to the Netherlands for two years after finishing a vocational high school at age 16. He returned to Greece for his military service, and once again, he began to engage with his passion for singing. He began performing in small clubs in Thessaloniki and other places around Macedonia's area. He began singing at the famous club "Rodon" in 2002, where he left a lasting impression and continued to perform there until summer 2003.
Vertis signed to Universal Music Greece in 2003 and released his debut album, Poli Apotoma Vradiazei (Night comes too fast). "Asteri Mou," "An Feigeis," "San Trelos Se Agapao," and the title track "Poli Apotoma Vradiazei" were radio hits in a short time, while Peggy Zina contributed to two duets on the album titled "Eimaste Horma" and "Hanomaste," which were also radio hits. Vertis moved to Athens, Greece, where he worked with Peggy Zina at club Apollon during the winter season 2003-2004.

In the spring of 2005, he began his second round of performances at club "Posidonio," where he stayed for the entire summer.

The album was quickly certified platinum, while "Poia Esu," "Pos Na To Exigiso," "Den Se Niazei," and "Kapote Tha Deis" became radio hits.
