Benjamin Biolay

Benjamin Biolay (born 20 January 1973 in Villefranche-sur-Saone, Rhone) is a French singer, songwriter, musician, actor and record producer. He is the brother of singer Coralie Clement, whose two albums he wrote and produced, and the ex-husband of Chiara Mastroianni, the daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni.

His low-key vocal style is somewhat similar to French pop star Etienne Daho. With the singer Keren Ann, whose first two albums he co-wrote and produced, he contributed several songs to Chambre avec Vue, the successful comeback album of singer Henri Salvador, and has since worked as a writer, arranger or producer for other icons of French music, including Juliette Greco, Julien Clerc and Francoise Hardy.

He wrote or performed most of the songs on the 2004 soundtrack to Clara et Moi by Arnaud Viard, and released the album Home with his wife the same year.
