Шаблон:Short description Alexandre Beaupain (born 15 October 1974 in Besançon), is a French singer and composer, both of his own songs, and of the music and songs for films, particularly those directed by Christophe Honoré. He has released several albums and received awards, both for film scores and the song albums.
Career
Alex Beaupain's mother was a primary school teacher and his father worked for the railways and he has an elder sister and younger brother.[1] As a child, with a home life where culture was important, he learnt the piano and sang in a choir. In 1992 he went to Paris and registered to study Sciences Po.[2] He contributed to several musical shows in the late 1990s by the Compagnie les matelas à ressorts.
His career took off in the late 1990s both in composing songs and the music for films, the latter in particular for the writer and director Christophe Honoré. His first album Garçon d'honneur was released by Naïve Records in 2005,[3] and inspired for Honoré the scenario for Les Chansons d'amour in 2007 in which some of the songs were used.
Beaupain's second album, released in October 2008, was titled 33 Tours,[4] consisting of twelve songs, I want to go home being the first single, the video for which was directed by Christophe Charrier.[5]
In May 2011, the Festival de Cannes closed with a screening of Honoré's Les Bien-Aimés, for which Beaupain had composed the songs. His third album, released in April 2011, was titled Pourquoi battait mon cœur, and was arranged by Jean-Philippe Verdin. The first single was Au départ, which drew parallels between the progress of the left in French politics and the situation of a couple. The album included a duo with Camélia Jordana, Avant la haine, which had featured in the sound track of Dans Paris, Christophe Honoré directing the clip.
Beaupain's fourth album Après moi le déluge was released on 15 April 2013,[6] which preceded a concert tour which included the Olympia Paris and the Casino de Paris.
In 2015, he became involved in the project for a book « Les gens dans l’enveloppe » (People in the envelope) written by Isabelle Monnin based on anonymous photos she had acquired and for which he wrote ten songs on an accompanying CD, interpreted by Camélia Jordana, Clotilde Hesme, Françoise Fabian and himself.[7] The success of the book, both with critics and the public, led to a show based on the project which was mounted at the Philharmonie de Paris in 2017. In 2016, he worked again with Christophe Honoré on the film « Les malheurs de Sophie » adapted from the work of the Comtesse de Ségur. The year also saw his fifth album, « Loin » followed by a concert tour which finished at Bataclan and at the Café de la Danse. Beaupain was a member of the jury for the Festival du cinéma américain de Deauville 2018.[8]
For the theatre he has written the music for two plays produced in Paris, directed by Thierry Klifa, both featuring Fanny Ardant.[9]
In December 2018 he was among 70 celebrities supporting the Urgence Homophobie foundation, appearing in a clip De l'amour.[10] In 2020 a book by Kéthévane Davrichewy was published, centred on Beaupain, through her passion French chanson, entitled Un Chanteur.[11] A television documentary Je n'aime que toi,[12] with a personal view of Beaupain directed by Valentine Duteil and Karine Morales, was broadcast on France 3 in December 2021.
