His first album, Un Vieux Hippy, released in 1994, sold more than 15,000 copies in a fairly small market, and songs such as "La chain de mon Tracteur", "Export A" and "L'alcool au volant" become popular. Cayouche maintained constant popularity throughout Canada and Europe, and is among the few popular Acadian artists in history to have sold over 100,000 albums.
