He started in 1994 with the groupKDD [fr] and quickly became its leader. The group was made of five members (Dadoo otherwise known as Dadppda, Diesel, H2O, Lindsay and Robert) who signed a contract withColumbia. Their first albumOpte pour le K came out in 1996; next came the albumRésurrection in 1998 andUne Couleur de plus au Drapeau in 2000, both considered as original classics of French rap. Later the group separated after selling more than 200,000 albums. A new path was ahead for him.
Dadoo quickly changed to a solo career. He initiated many musical projects and collaborations with:Akhenaton,Kool Shen,Rohff,Oxmo Puccino,Vitaa,Diam's,Joeystarr, evenJean-Michel Jarre for the remix ofOxygène.Dadoo, whose writing is the base of his solo career, wrote the script forGomez et Tavarès [fr], the story of two cops who are total opposites and must face the middle class ofMarseilles. The movie, produced by Gilles Paquet-Brenner in 2003, and will featureTitoff,Stomy Bugsy andNoémie Lenoir.Then, he co-directed the BO ofTaxi 3 forLuc Besson, who saw rising stars like Diam, Vitaa,Corneille, Korr and Scalp. In the same year, he wrote forAlain Chabat the music for the movieRRRrrrr!!!, a wacky movie filmed in 2003, with les Robins des Bois.In 2003, produced by Sony Columbia, his first solo album France History X which is regarded as a definitive, high-value example of French rap. The album showed a timeless analysis of the French wealthy's differences and contradictions. The title Sales Gosses met an immediate success with a music video with Jamel Debbouze, Éric et Ramzy, Dieudonné andJoeystarr. The titles Où vous-êtes, France History X and Fille facile also saw large successes.It was in 2014 when Dadoo launched the formation of Dadoo and the Classics who hoped to blend hip hop strictly MC + KEYS + DRUMS.
Dadoo, who gained more interest in composition, completed the first album of Joeystarr Gare au Jaguarr in 2006. The album was a clear success and was named in thevictoires de la musique 2007 in the "Urban Music" category. As producer of the tour that followed the release of the album, Dadoo joined withJoeystarr on stage with the neo-metal groupEnhancer.In 2009 his career took a turn as he became part of the new rock group "D and the Zepp".
