French DJ Kavinsky Found Dead in Paris Home at 50

French DJ and electropop musician Kavinsky was found dead in his Paris home on Tuesday evening, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced.

The artist, whose real name was Vincent Belorgey, was 50 years old.

An inquiry into the cause of death has been opened to determine the circumstances, with first responders finding no suspicious elements at the scene, according to a statement from the prosecutor’s office.

Kavinsky rose to international fame with his 2010 song “Nightcall,” which was prominently featured in the 2011 film “Drive,” starring Ryan Gosling. He performed this song at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Born in France, Belorgey established himself in the electronic music scene with his distinctive synth-pop sound, often evoking a retro-futuristic aesthetic.
