Vincent Pierre Claude Belorgey〔As credited in the film ''Drive''.〕 (born July 31, 1975), known as Kavinsky (sometimes stylized as KΔVINϟKY), is a French house artist whose production style is very reminiscent of the electropop film soundtracks of the 1980s. Kavinsky claimed that his music is inspired by thousands of movies he watched as a young boy and that he has cherry-picked the best parts from them, consolidating them into one concept. Kavinsky has been compared to many similar French house artists including Daft Punk and Danger. He achieved greater mainstream recognition after his track "Nightcall" was featured in the 2011 film ''Drive.'' ==Biography== After many years as an actor, Kavinsky's musical career started in 2005 after being inspired by his close friends Jackson Fourgeaud and Quentin Dupieux, the latter director also included Kavinsky's music in his film ''Steak''. During this period Kavinsky produced his first single "Testarossa Autodrive" which was inspired by the Testarossa model of Ferrari (one of which Vincent drives in real life).〔 Kavinsky presented the single to Quentin, who in turn presented it to a record label he had access to because of his filming career, and Kavinsky signed with Record Makers.〔Belorgey, V. (2011, October 5). Kavinsky (Interview by A. Mendoza & R. Oh) (post ). Retrieved from BIGSTEREO website: http://this.bigstereo.net/2011/10/05/kavinsky/〕 Subsequently Kavinsky went on to release three EPs on the Record Makers label: ''Teddy Boy'' in 2006, ''1986'' a year later, and ''Nightcall'' with Lovefoxxx of CSS in 2010.〔 During this period, Kavinsky's fellow producer Surkin jokingly claimed in an interview that Kavinsky was his father and has since toured alongside Daft Punk, The Rapture, Justice, and SebastiAn in 2007.〔Linkedin, & Slideshare.

The SebastiAn remix of "Testarossa Autodrive" off the ''1986'' EP is 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" and on 25 February 2013 released the studio album ''OutRun''.〔Staff.

Retrieved December 14, 2012, from Prefixmag website: http://www.prefixmag.com/media/kavinsky/protovision-streamofficial-video/72418〕 After a brief hiatus lasting for 9 months, Kavinsky reappeared with the single "Sovereign", released in November 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kavinsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
