In 2015, Hinson and Piccone started producing music under the name Black Caviar. Before founding Black Caviar, Piccone and Hinson had started their careers playing in Pennsylvania rock bands, which is how they met.[2][3] Hinson is known for his work on Sirius XM's Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show.[4] Piccone was the cofounder and drummer of Innerpartysystem, and later worked as an A&R representative at Casablanca Records.[5]

In 2015, Black Caviar gained popularity with their cover of "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" by Modjo.[4]

2017–2019

Black Caviar signed to Casablanca Records in 2017, and released their debut single "Coco" in November. The single peaked at 22 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts in February 2018. In 2018, a remix of "Coco" by Piccone's former Innerpartysystem bandmate Kris Barman (better known as Wuki) was released.[6][7]

Black Caviar's "What's Up Danger" was released on November 1, 2018, as the second single from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack.[1] The single was a collaboration with rapper Blackway.[8][9] The soundtrack reached number one on Billboard's Top Soundtracks[10] and number 2 on Billboard 200.[9] Black Caviar released an official dance remix of "What's Up Danger" in February, 2019.

Black Caviar produced several singles in the summer of 2019, including "El Camino", "Alright Alright Okay", "Zonin",[11] and "Do You Like It When I'm Freaky".[12] Black Caviar collaborated with the DJ trio Jaded and London-based duo Antony and Cleopatra for the single "Slippin".[13] The duo hinted at new releases and movie work in a 2019 interview.[14] Black Caviar released an EP titled "Boing/Keep My High" on October 22, 2019. Black Caviar remixed the "Charlie's Angel Theme" for the 2019 Charlie's Angels soundtrack.[15]
