Some of his popular singles include "Mon cœur balance", "Je vous emmerde", and "Louxor j'adore".

At the beginning of his career, his musical style was often described as easy-listening, with bossa nova accents and texts that were often morbid or anguished and tinged with humor, all sometimes interspersed with audio collages.

In 2010, he attracted attention as an actor by playing Boris Vian in the biopic Gainsbourg, A Heroic Life, by Joann Sfar.

Besides these films, he was often seen in quirky supporting parts in comedies such as La Tour 2 contrôle infernale (2016), by Éric Judor, Hibou (2016), by Ramzy Bedia, We Are Family (2016), by Gabriel Julien-Laferrière, Le Petit Spirou (2017), by Nicolas Bary, Sink or Swim (2018), by Gilles Lellouche, and The World is Yours (2018), by Romain Gavras.

The album Mes Mauvaises Fréquentations, released in 1996, and offering lusher orchestrations and several vocalists, was well received critically and commercially.

In 1997, he composed an album for two Anglo-Japanese singers, the Winchester Sisters and also participated in a disc where he met the jazz musicians of the group The Recyclers, with whom he collaborated further.
