About

Kavinsky (Vincent Belorgey; 31 July 1975 – 28 July 2026) was a French musician, producer, DJ, and actor. His production style is reminiscent of the electropop film soundtracks of the 1980s. Kavinsky said that his music was inspired by thousands of movies he watched as a young boy and that he had cherry-picked the best parts from them, consolidating them into one concept. Kavinsky has been compared to many similar French house artists, including Danger and French duo Daft Punk. He achieved greater mainstream recognition after his song "Nightcall" was featured in the 2011 film Drive. His debut studio album, OutRun, was released in 2013. After years as an actor, Kavinsky's musical career started in 2005 after he was inspired by his close friends Jackson Fourgeaud and Quentin Dupieux. He acted in Dupieux's 2007 film Steak; the film also included Kavinsky's music. During this period, Kavinsky produced his first single, "Testarossa Autodrive", which was inspired by the Ferrari Testarossa (one of which Belorgey drove in real life). Kavinsky presented the single to Dupieux, who in turn presented it to a record label he had access to because of his filmmaking career, and Kavinsky signed with Record Makers. Kavinsky went on to release three EPs on the Record Makers label: Teddy Boy in 2006, 1986 a year later, and Nightcall, featuring Lovefoxxx of CSS, in 2010. Kavinsky toured alongside Daft Punk, The Rapture, Justice, and SebastiAn in 2007. The SebastiAn remix of "Testarossa Autodrive" from the 1986 EP was featured in the video games Grand Theft Auto IV and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Kavinsky's single "Nightcall" was featured in the opening credits of the film Drive and became a major hit soon after. In December 2012, he released "ProtoVision".
