Jean Leloup (Leclerc by birth and born May 14, 1961) is a Quebecois singer-songwriter. Also known as Jean Leloup, his colourful personality and unique musical style have made him a star in the francophone rock community.
Born in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, he grew up in Togo and Algeria where he was influenced by traditional African rhythms.

Born 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 under the name Jean Leloup, 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.
"Jean Leloup" is an important part of Quebec's transforming music scene. Since the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, Quebec has been developing its identity as a Francophone land as well as its individuality from English speaking North America and other French speaking nations. Leloup is a Québécois hero for his contribution to the local art scene and the development of the musical culture. Leloup is the recipient of a Félix Award (the Quebec version of a Grammy Award).
At the end of 2003, Leloup "died" or, rather, Jean Leclerc retired the name. This was, in fact, another piece of elaborate fantasy staging, typical of the wild and eccentric artist. Little was know of what Jean Leclerc was about to do, now that his Leloup persona has been "silenced". In August 2005, he announced his temporary return to the music scene in a collaboration with the Porn Flakes. A first single named "Les Corneilles" has been heard on Montreal's radio stations.
In the months preceding his return, he switched from his guitar to his fountain pen and wrote the philosophic novel, Noir destin que le mien (Le Tour du monde en complet was the original title), published October 5th, 2005 at Leméac Éditions under the pen name "Massoud Al Rachid`".
Under his real name Jean Leclerc, he released a first single, titled "Mexico", in August 2006. His first album, also titled Mexico, was released in September 2006.
He has since returned to his artist name Jean Leloup and has once again retired Leclerc.

Le Malheur
Jean Leclerc Lyrics
C'est un peu avant ses 18 ans
Que le dénommé Jonathan
Aurait tué sans le vouloir
Une jeune fille trop, saoul un soir
Était-ce une de ces fois minables
Où il allait de table en table
Quand il volait les bouteilles pour les finir
Ivrogne il fut jusqu'aux oreilles
Ah le malheur, c'est comme le bohneur
Ah la malchance, la pluie sur tes vacances
Elle est jolie, saoule elle aussi
Elle l'embrasse et ça commence
Rapidement le désir avance
Et le désir à 18 ans nous le savons il est brûlant
Il vont chez elle et se déshabillent
Mais elle change d'idée soudain
Elle veut qu'il parte et ce n'est rien
Mais l'imbécile, il la retient
Non pas beaucoup, juste un moment
C'est ça l'erreur exactement
Non pas beaucoup, juste un instant
C'est ça l'erreur exactement
Elle vient de vivre une sale histoire
Avec un type violent avant
C'est une bombe à retardement
C'est une bombe à retardement
Il va partir immédiatement
Il va partir mais elle s'excite
Elle crie vengeance
Elle en a soif
Elle perd le sens
Elle décide de lui faire peur
"Je vais appeler les flics"
"Au violeur, au violeur"
Elle est convaincante la petite
Elle se met à courir vers la porte extérieure
Elle court dans l'escalier en criant "Au secours, au violeur"
Et lui court derrière elle
Il la pousse dans l'escalier et elle déboule les marches
Et se tape la tête
Quand elle arrive en bas elle ne bouge plus
Ah le malheur, c'est comme le bohneur
Ah la malchance, la pluie sur tes vacances
Ah le malheur, c'est comme le bohneur
Ah la malchance, la pluie sur tes vacances
Le lendemain, il se réveille
Il est chez lui, c'est la tempête
Dans sa mémoire
Comme une bouteille, il n'y a qu'un mal de tête
Et Jonathan est parti
Il a changé de pays
Il est allé refaire sa vie
Là où le calme, là où l'oubli
Mais l'oubli n'est jamais venu
Et ce qui le fait le plus souffrir
C'est qu'il ne sait pas si,
Quand il a couru derrière elle et qu'il l'a poussée
Il voulait tout simplement la tasser, se sauver
Ou si finalement, il avait envie de la faire... tomber
Ah le malheur, c'est comme le bohneur
Ah la malchance, la pluie sur tes vacances
C'est comme le bohneur
La pluie sur tes vacances
