he is the brother of singer coralie clément , 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 Étienne 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 gréco , julien clerc , françoise hardy and vanessa paradis .
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 .
after two more rock oriented albums in 2005 and 2007 he was dropped by his record company and began working on his first independent release , `` la superbe '' , released on naïve records in 2009 .
this was followed by the soundtrack album `` pourquoi tu pleures '' in 2011 and `` vengeance '' in 2012 .
