Before signing with Warner Music, Dubuc released several promotional videos for Mystery Skulls, pairing his songs with retro footage of Star Wars, He-Man, and other classics. Mystery Skulls gained significant online traction after an animated video was posted on Youtube using his song, "Money".
The first Mystery Skulls EP is available on Bandcamp, and more songs can be found on Dubuc's tumblr page.
Dubuc's debut studio album, Forever, was released in 2014. This release featured singles "Hellbent," "Paralyzed," and "Ghost," the latter of which received an animated music video featuring original characters. Additionally, Nile Rodgers and Brandy were featured on the tracks "Magic," and "Number 1."
The collection Ultra Rare Vol. 1 appeared on Bandcamp in 2015, featuring previously unreleased material.
"Believe," a remix of the Jackson Sisters' "I Believe In Miracles," was released as a single in 2016.
Dubuc's second (and final) album with Warner Music, One of Us, was released in 2017. His third full-length, 2019's Back To Life, was the first LP self-published through Mystery Skulls Music. Single "Far Away" appeared in late 2019.
Soul on Fire
Mystery Skulls Lyrics

Soul on, soul on, soul on fire tonight
Soul on, soul on, soul on fire tonight
Soul on, soul on, soul on fire tonight
I was born poor, I'll probably die poor
Was born with nothing and I'll die with less
Hearing you singing's got me singing too
It keeps me dreaming, all I dream is you
(Tells me) I've got my love, stare into the fire
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love stare, love stare
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love, stare into the fire
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love stare, love stare
Soul on, soul on, soul on fire tonight
Soul on, soul on, soul on fire tonight
Feeling my dreams are never coming true
Was on my nightmare 'til it came to you
Making me feel just like I wanted to
You keep me dreaming, all I dream is you
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love, stare into the fire
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love stare, love stare
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love, stare into the fire
(Tells me) You've got my soul on fire tonight
(Tells me) I've got my love stare, love stare
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, oh
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, tonight
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, oh
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, tonight
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, oh
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, tonight

Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, oh
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, tonight
Feeling good baby, oh no
Soul on fire baby, oh

Soul on fire baby, tonight
The song "Soul on Fire" by Mystery Skulls is a declaration of love and admiration for a person who has brought meaning to the singer's life. The repetition of the chorus line "soul on fire tonight" reflects the intensity of the emotions being felt. The singer was born poor and expects to die in the same state, suggesting a lack of hope for a better life. However, hearing the person they love sing has uplifted their spirits and given them a reason to dream. This dream is solely centered around the person they love, and they declare that "all I dream is you."
The singer's nightmare has become a reality and they have lost faith in their dreams coming true until they met their love interest. The person they love has made them feel the way they've always wanted, and they are therefore content to dream about them. The repetition of "feeling good baby" towards the end of the song is a reflection of their current state of mind. They are grateful for the love they have found and feel like their soul is on fire, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling alive or passionate.
