==Biography== 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 ; 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 drives 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 filming career, and Kavinsky signed with Record Makers.
