Often compared to the legendary Serge Gainsbourg, singer/songwriter/arranger
Benjamin Biolay is less apt to call on some lovely like Brigitte Bardot or
Franτoise Hardy to sing his songs when he can do it just as well himself --
although Gainsbourg did often duet with his protΘgΘes, most notably Jane Birkin
on the scandalous international hit "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus." Not that the
handsome, honey-voiced Biolay hasn't worked with a few female vocalists on
occasion, like, for instance, his younger sister, Coralie ClΘment, who has
sometimes been compared to Hardy and Birkin. Biolay arranged and wrote most of
the songs on her 2001 debut, Salle des Pas Perdus (which was released in the
U.S. in 2002).
Benjamin Biolay was born in Villefranche-sur-Sa⌠ne, France, in 1973. His father
was a clarinet player and member of the local orchestra. Biolay played the
violin as a young man, going on to study the instrument at the Lyons
Conservatoire. Over the years, his musical interests would grow to encompass
classical (Mozart, Beethoven), American pop (Chuck Berry, the Beatles), and
traditional French music (Trenet). From the violin, he moved on to the tuba,
trombone, guitar, and piano. When he was 13, he discovered Gainsbourg's
"Histoire de Melody Nelson," which would have a big influence on his own concept
recording (2001's Rose Kennedy). From his teens through his early twenties,
Biolay was a member of several groups, including Wind? and Mateo Gallion. The
latter released a CD in 1994, which made little impact. In 1996, he was signed
as a solo artist to EMI, but his initial singles also met with little success.
Then, in 1999 he met Keren Ann Zeidel (aka Keren Ann), with whom he composed the
2000 French hit "Jardin D'hiver" for Henri Salvador's comeback album (Chambre
Avec Vue). He would go on to collaborate with Keren Ann on Biographie de Luka
Phillipsen (2000) and La Disparition (2002). In some form or another, Biolay has
also worked with Hubert Mounier (aka Cleet Boris), Isabelle Boulay, Franτoise
Hardy, and Jane Birkin.
In 2001, Biolay released his full-length debut, Rose Kennedy, a concept album
full of hushed vocals, lush strings, and lyrical musings about the Kennedy
family -- and Marilyn Monroe -- mostly from the point of view of family
matriarch Rose. The recording features audio excerpts that evoke those golden
years when JFK was in the White House, brother Robert was attorney general, and
Monroe was on the silver screen. Other than the English samples (from Some Like
It Hot, Monroe's "River of No Return," etc.), Rose Kennedy is in French and
wasn't released in the U.S. Also in 2001, Biolay issued the Remix EP, featuring
new versions of seven Rose Kennedy songs.
2002 continued to be a big year for Biolay as he entered his own "dynasty" of
sorts -- a Franco-Italian-acting dynasty, that is -- when he married Chiara
Mastroianni, daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni. In 2003, he
released NΘgatif, featuring guest appearances by Chiara and Coralie.
