Chloé Mons

Chloé Mons (born in Lille on 1 December 1972) is a French actress and singer.

Chloé grew up in Lille in a family of musicians. She is the sister of Barnabé Mons, the leader of the psychedelic rock group Sheetah & Les Weissmullers. She later became the muse of the American photographer Tom Sewell. In 2001, she married the singer Alain Bashung, whom she met during the filming of the music video La nuit je mens and with whom she recorded the Cantique des cantiques for their wedding, using music by Rudolphe Burger. They have a daughter together named Poppée.

In 2006, inspired by Calamity Jane's Letters to My Daughter, she wrote and composed La Ballade de Calamity Jane. Alain Bashung, her husband, and Rodolphe Burger, the guitarist and leader of the band Kat Onoma, helped bring the project to life. In the same year, she published her debut solo album, Chienne d'un seul, which she performed on stage during the first part of her husband's tour, La Tournée des grands espaces. In 2009, she wrote, composed and self-produced her second solo album, Par la rivière, an opus she defines as "punk/country" and that she played alone or with a small band in France and the United States.
