Levan played basketball for the Yakutia national team, but following a knee injury he was forced to cease, and focused fully on his career in rap.

After the release of the first solo album in 2005, Levan moved to Moscow along with his friend Nel, where they formed the hip-hop group Marselle.

In 2008, L'One took part in the TV show BiTVa for Respect on the channel Muz-TV, where he published his first mix tape Mars FM.

In 2010, he released his second mixtape, entitled L. In May 2012, after his work with Phlatline was finished, L'One signed a contract with Black Star Inc., a hip hop label owned by Timati.

The trilogy tells a story of an astronaut traveling to Mars and back, as a metaphor of the artist's personal emotional experience from dealing with fame, work, and family.
