Christophe Martichon (French pronunciation: [kʁistɔf maʁtiʃɔ̃]; born 16 October 1975 in Carpentras, Vaucluse), better known by his stage name Christophe Maé ([kʁistɔf mae]), is a French pop singer.

Career

Maé learned to play the violin at age five, and later began playing the guitar and harmonica at age 16 after he was immobilised from a chronic illness. He has stated that this was the time when he became inspired by Stevie Wonder.[1] In 2005 he rose to fame by playing the role of Monsieur, brother of King Louis XIV in the musical "Le Roi Soleil".

Musical style

Maé's music is largely acoustic. He has cited Bob Marley, Ben Harper, Tracy Chapman, and Jack Johnson as well as French singer-songwriters Francis Cabrel and Gérald De Palmas as musical influences. He allegedly began to learn harmonica as a tribute to Stevie Wonder, who is commonly cited as his biggest influence musically.[3]

Personal life

Christophe Maé has two sons, Jules and Marcel, with his longtime girlfriend Nadège Sarron. Jules was born in March 2008.[4] In August 2013, the couple welcomed Marcel.[5] Nadège Sarron operates a school of dance which she founded in Aix-en-Provence, where she lives with the two boys. Christophe Maé works half the week in Paris, and reunited with his family sweetheart the rest of the time in the South.[6] Christophe Maé finally proposed to Nadège in 2016 through his song "Ballerine", the couple married in Porto-Vecchio on 29 June 2017.[7]

Philanthropy

Maé has been a member of the Les Enfoirés charity ensemble since 2008.[8]
