Early life

Luciani comes from a Corsican family. Her grandfather, whom she did not know, was from Ajaccio.[6] Luciani grew up in Septèmes-les-Vallons, in the suburbs of Marseille. Before her career in music, she studied art history and performed various jobs, including pizza chef, babysitter, sales at Zara, and teaching ESL.[citation needed]

Career

In 2011, she became one of the vocalists in the rock band La Femme. She sang two songs on their 2013 album, Psycho Tropical Berlin.[7] After leaving the group, she formed the duo Hologram with Maxime Sokolinski.[citation needed]

In 2015–2016, Luciani accompanied singer Raphaël onstage for his Somnambules tour.

In 2017, she performed with Benjamin Biolay and released her first EP, Monstre d'amour, recorded with Benjamin Lebeau (The Shoes) and Ambroise Willaume (Revolver), to critical acclaim.[8]

On 6 April 2018, Luciani released her first studio album, Sainte-Victoire, which was well received by the press.[9][10] The following winter, she toured Australia, performing at the So Frenchy So Chic festival series in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.[11][12] She released a second album, Cœur, in 2021.[13]

Luciani has cited Nico, PJ Harvey, Patti Smith,[3] Françoise Hardy, Serge Gainsbourg, Michel Legrand, Paul McCartney, Sonic Youth, and Pixies as influences.[14][15]

Personal life

Since 2019, she has been in a relationship with Scottish musician Alex Kapranos, frontman of the rock band Franz Ferdinand. The couple married in Scotland at the end of May 2023.[16][17] They have one child, a son, born in September 2023.[18]
