Cédric Marszewski started music as a sound designer for the French national radio, Radio France. As a musician and producer he later joined, Guillaume Sorge and Clovis Goux in The D*I*R*T*Y collective (both were formerly working as journalists for French TV Canal+ amongst other things).

He created theme music for an Adidas advertisement, remixing the Frankie Valli song "Beggin'". Another campaign used his remix of Dee Edwards' "Why Can't There Be Love?", the remix of the song and the song itself have gained widespread popularity ever since, as well as the "Celebrating Originality on the Streets" campaign.
After the international release of his remix of "Why Can't There Be Love?", Pilooski's originality caught the attention of the online-downloads based audience, giving him the opportunity to encounter more publicity contracts, as well as keeping a stable position to be considered for further Adidas collaborations.
Pilooski has been working for fashion as music supervisor for brands such as Hermès (since 2010), Christophe Lemaire, Lanvin (alongside Guillaume Sorge), Bonpoint.
