Jean Leloup, sometimes also known as “John the Wolf”, in anglophone context, is a quebecer singer-songwriter. Jean Leloup’s colourful personality and unique musical style have made him a star in the francophone rock community. He is also an important part of Quebec’s transforming music scene. Born Jean Leclerc on May 14th, 1961 in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, he grew up in Togo and 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, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan. The cornerstone of his career is without a doubt Le dôme which he released after many years of silence. It was then followed by the mini-album Les Fourmis in 1998. La vallée des réputations (2002) also made a big hit and was supposed to be interpreted as the “conclusion” of his character.
Leloup is a Québécois hero for his contribution to the local art scene and the development of the musical culture. He is also the recipient of a Félix Award (the Quebec’s equivalent of a Grammy Award).
Leloup “died” on December 19th, 2003, in Saint-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu.
