A multi-instrumentalist, Caldera was influenced by many musical styles and made [rock music](/source/Rock_music) before becoming involved in [house music](/source/House_music) in 2002 whilst working as a stage designer in a number of Parisian nightclubs.[1]

Dumas's professional transition was preceded by several years of formal conservatory training in saxophone, guitar, and bass. During his tenure as a stage designer, he was mentored by DJ Master Seb, who secured his initial residency at the D! Club in [Lausanne](/source/Lausanne).[2]

To date, he has released one [studio album](/source/Studio_album) and three official [singles](/source/Single_(music)), two of which have reached the top 40 of the French singles chart. Aside from his solo career, Caldera has produced remixes for a number of musicians, such as [Paulina Rubio](/source/Paulina_Rubio), [Enrique Iglesias](/source/Enrique_Iglesias) and [Janet Jackson](/source/Janet_Jackson)'s "[Call on Me](/source/Call_on_Me_(Janet_Jackson_song))".[3][4]

## History

Following his move into electronic music in 2002, Caldera was given a residency at D! Club in [Lausanne](/source/Lausanne) and in 2003 he won a mixing contest and was awarded to opportunity to warm up for [David Guetta](/source/David_Guetta).[1] He later moved on to [electronic dance music](/source/Electronic_dance_music) and in 2007, his track "Sexy" became popular in many French clubs, reaching the top 5 of the French Club Charts. Following this success, Caldera was invited to remix tracks by various notable artists, including the [Pussycat Dolls](/source/Pussycat_Dolls), [Enrique Iglesias](/source/Enrique_Iglesias) and [Paul Van Dyk](/source/Paul_Van_Dyk).[4]

Caldera continued to work on his solo career, and on 18 May 2009 he released his first [studio album](/source/Studio_album), *Debut*, which reached a peak position of #193 in the French albums chart.[5] The album featured guest a performance from [Sophie Ellis-Bextor](/source/Sophie_Ellis-Bextor).[6] To date, Caldera has released three official [singles](/source/Single_(music)); "Feel It" was released in February 2008 but failed to chart, and "[Sleeping Satellite](/source/Sleeping_Satellite)" (a house remix of the [Tasmin Archer](/source/Tasmin_Archer) track) was brought out on 15 September 2008 and reached a respectable #37 in the French singles chart, staying in the chart for 12 weeks.[7]

In 2012, Caldera's single, "Lights Out (Go Crazy)", which features [Natalia Kills](/source/Natalia_Kills) and [Far East Movement](/source/Far_East_Movement), was featured in a trailer for the fighting game, *[Tekken Tag Tournament 2](/source/Tekken_Tag_Tournament_2)*.
