While in Athens, Burton took second place in a 1998 talent contest and was asked to open for a concert at the [[University of Georgia]] featuring [[OutKast]] and [[Goodie Mob]].<ref name="UPROXXHistory">{{cite web |last1=O'Connell |first1=Ryan |title=The A To Z History Of Danger Mouse |url=https://uproxx.com/music/danger-mouse-a-to-z/ |website=Uproxx |date=July 29, 2016 |access-date=9 June 2024}}</ref> Afterwards, Burton says he approached CeeLo Green, a member of Goodie Mob, and gave him an instrumental demo tape.<ref name="UPROXXHistory"/> He suggested and negotiated CeeLo's appearance on the 26' Remix of the Danger Mouse and Jemini record. When Burton met CeeLo for this project, he shared some beats which led them to collaborate as Gnarls Barkley.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/18/magazine/18barkley.html?ex=1308283200&en=d69638926b798ed5&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss| title=The D.J.

From 1998 to 2003, Burton created a series of remix CDs and records under the stage name Danger Mouse. He performed in a mouse outfit because he was too shy to show his face, and took his name from the English cartoon series ''[[Danger Mouse (1981 TV series)|Danger Mouse]]''.<ref>"An American musician and producer, Brian Burton, created remix CDs under the stage name Danger Mouse, which he took from the television series."

Burton relocated to Los Angeles; his first original releases under the name Danger Mouse were his collaborations with [[rapper]] [[Jemini the Gifted One|Jemini]], including the album ''[[Ghetto Pop Life]]'', released in 2003 on Lex Records. The Danger Mouse debut was well received by critics, but he did not rise to fame until he created ''[[The Grey Album]]'', mixing [[a cappella]] versions of [[Jay-Z]]'s ''[[The Black Album (Jay-Z)|The Black Album]]'' over beats crafted from samples of [[the Beatles]]' [[The Beatles (album)|eponymous album]], also known as ''The White Album''.

== Philosophy ==
In an interview for ''The New York Times'' magazine, Danger Mouse was compared to a film [[auteur]], basing his music production philosophy on the cinematic philosophy of directors like [[Woody Allen]]. "Woody Allen was an auteur: he did his thing, and that particular thing was completely his own", he said. "That's what I decided to do with music. I want to create a director's role within music, which is what I tried to do on this album (''[[St. Elsewhere (album)|St. Elsewhere]]'')... I can create different kinds of musical worlds, but the artist needs the desire to go into that world... Musically, there is no one who has the career I want. That's why I have to use film directors as a model."<ref name=autogenerated1 />
