His first success was "Super Heroes" that resulted in a contract with Iheartcomix record label. He is known for his album Angst released on Roy Music label on 16 May 2011.[1] He also released the music video directed by Wahib for the title track "Angst". He also released a number of EPs, and has had various collaborations with a number of artists including Canadian act Chromeo, Robert Bruce of the UK act South Central[2] in "Never Stop" featuring Bruce and music video directed by Antoine Wagner. He also collaborated with French rapper Orelsan, particularly in his 2010 EP N'importe comment.

He performed under a mask[3] up until his 2009 EP Toxic Is Dead, in 2009, symbolizing the death of the personality he'd donned in the group Ed Wood Is Dead.

Delacroix's stage name is a tribute to the cult B-movie of the same name.
