Jean Leloup

Jean Leloup (born May 14, 1961) is a Canadian musician who is one of Quebec's foremost singer-songwriters.

Jean Leloup's colourful personality and unique musical style has made him a star in the francophone rock community.

Born Jean Leclerc in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, he grew up in Algeria, where he was influenced by traditional African rhythms. He appeared on the Quebec music scene in the 1980s, making waves with his provocative lyrics – in his song "1990", he compares the high-tech actions of Desert Storm to the sexual activities of himself and his girlfriend. His 1990 album "L'amour est sans pitié" was a hit outside of Quebec, licensed in France, Holland, Belgium and Japan.

Jean Leloup is an important part of Quebec's transforming music scene. Since the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, Quebec has been developing its identity as a francophone land as well as its individuality from English speaking North America and other French speaking nations. Leloup is a Quebecois hero for his contribution to the local art scene and the development of the musical culture. Leloup is the recipient of a Felix Award, the Quebec version of a Grammy Award.

At the end of 2003, Leloup "died" or, rather, Jean Leclerc retired the name. This was, in fact, another piece of elaborate fantasy staging, typical of the wild and eccentric artist. Little is know of what Jean Leclerc will do, now that his Leloup persona has been "silenced". He might record under his own name, or work further on publishing written prose.
