Dyotte was a guitarist with the Undercovers, a band which also included future members of the Stills, before joining with pianist Pierre-Alain Faucon and singer/guitarist Julien Fargo to create the band Chinatown in 2006, adding drummer Gabriel Rousseau and bassist Toby Cayouette. Faucon was best known for the song "Retour à Vega", which had been composed for his previous band in 2002, and then covered by the Stills for the soundtrack of the 2004 film Wicker Park.[5] Chinatown also recorded their own version of "Retour à Vega" on their second album.[6]
Chinatown released their debut EP, L'amour, le rêve et le whisky, in 2007 on the Tacca Musique label,[7] followed by two studio albums, Cité d'or (2009)[7] and Comment j'ai explosé (2012).[8]
Following Chinatown's breakup, Dyotte released his self-titled solo album in 2015,[9] followed by Politesses in 2017.[10] He has also recorded a number of non-album singles as duets with other vocalists, including "Amour, amour" with Monia Chokri,[11] "Effeuille-moi le cœur" with Kandle[12] and "C'est l'été, c'est l'été, c'est l'été" with Evelyne Brochu.[13]
