Biography

Formerly signed to Ed Banger Records, Vladimir Cauchemar produces music under his label, Lokomotiv Sound, licensed by Virgin Music France. Ed Banger Records describes him as "a musician who lost a contest to the god Apollo and is seeking revenge 2,500 years later."[6][7]

In 2017, he produced several tracks on Lomepal's second album Jeannine.[8] That same year, he released his first solo single, "Aulos", which was a hit.[9] In 2018, he released a new version of the song, titled "Aulos Reloaded", featuring American rapper 6ix9ine.[8] In 2019, he produced several tracks on Roméo Elvis' debut album Chocolat.[8] That same year, he released two songs, "(G)rave" and "Shining", the latter being a collaboration with musical artist Lazy Flow.[10][11] "Shining" became popular thanks to an advertising campaign on Instagram.[12]

For Halloween of that year, he released "La Famille Adam" featuring Belgian rappers Caballero and JeanJass.[13] In 2021, he released "Élévation", a collaboration with French rapper Vald.[14]
