Jean Leclerc (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ ləlu]; born May 14, 1961) is a Québécois singer-songwriter and author from Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada.

Born in Sainte-Foy in 1961[1] to Québécois parents, Jean Leclerc grew up in Africa, more precisely in Togo and Algeria.

From the beginning of his career, he made waves with his provocative lyrics--in his song "1990", he compares the high-tech actions of Desert Storm to his sexual activities with his girlfriend.

[3] His 1990 album L'amour est sans pitié was a hit outside of Quebec, and was released in the rest of Canada, USA, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan.

In August 2005, he announced his temporary return to the music scene with a collaboration with a band called the Porn Flakes.
