Before becoming a rapper, Jérémie Serrandour followed a literary terminal with a theater and cinema option at the Lycée Bréquigny in Rennes, where he obtained his baccalaureate diploma in 2013. It was there that he met the members of the hip hop collective Columbine. Under the name of Larry Garcia, he produced most of the music videos for the collective Columbine.

In 2016, Lorenzo began his career by posting his humorous songs on YouTube and decided, following numerous requests from his fans, to release a single disc from the album Empereur du sale which he burned on a CD and decorated with marker. It was sold on eBay and within minutes, the price exceeded €50,000 . eBay later removed the CD because of the penis drawn on the cover. He later republished it with the penis blurred.
