Renan Luce (born on the 5 March, 1980, Paris) is a French singer and songwriter from Brittany. His songs are inspired by the 20th century singer and songwriter Georges Brassens and depict everyday life with a dose of humour and poetry.

Biography and musical career

Although born in Paris he spent all his childhood and adolescence in Plourin-les-Morlaix, Brittany (near Morlaix, in the Finistere).

His musical career started with participating with his brother Damien and his sister Claire in a chorale, afterwards he debuts classical piano at the conservatory of Brest then at Saint-Brieuc. He then exchanged the piano for the saxophone and learns by himself the guitar by composing his first songs.
