Renan Luce

His songs are inspired by the 20th-century singer Georges Brassens and depict everyday life with a dose of humour and poetry.

After two years of preparatory classes in Rennes, where he performed in bars and at a few festivals (e.g., as a support act for Matmatah), he was admitted to the Toulouse Business School.

After three years of study at Toulouse, Luce moved to Paris and soon decided to focus exclusively on song writing and performing.

Luce got exposure through several festivals (Francofolies de La Rochelle, Montauban So Sing) and Bénabar had him play as support act at the Paris Zénith on 7 June 2006.

He is often invited by other artists, having opened the show for Maxime Le Forestier, Clarks, Jeanne Cherhal, Thomas Fersen amongst others.

Luce was on the road until spring 2008, touring French speaking destinations, performing in front of nearly 200,000 spectators.

[4] On 7 April 2014, after a three-year break, Luce brought out a new album, D'Une Tonne À Un Tout Petit Poids ("From a Ton to a Very Small Weight").

On 10 February 2014, a single from the album was released: "Appelle Quand Tu Te Réveilles" ("Call Me When You Wake Up").
