Dubuc was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela until he was eight, when his family moved to Toronto, where he fell in love with dance music as well as hip-hop and metal. After moving to Dallas, he played drums for the metal band [a=Thirty Called Arson] and formed the electronic pop project [a=The Secret Handshake]. In 2011, he ended the Secret Handshake to focus on the more dance-oriented [a=Mystery Skulls]. That year, he moved to Los Angeles and released Mystery Skulls' self-titled debut EP after which he signed to Warner Bros. in 2013 and collaborated with [a=Chic]'s [a=Nile Rodgers] on the project's debut album, Forever, which was released in 2014.
