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.
Her third solo album, Walking, was recorded at the end of 2010 in Kingston, New York, and produced by Malcolm Burn, who has worked with Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, and Emmylou Harris among others. She brought Walking on tour, accompanied by guitarist Yan Péchin.
After her husband Alain Bashung's death in 2009, Mons published a diary-style book recounting her husband's final hours. The book, Let Go, was released on 2 March 2012, by the publisher Fetjaine.
2012 also marked the release of Il Buio, a duet album with the guitarist Xavier Boussiron. The album comprises covers of various hits from the 1950s, from Peggy Lee's "Johnny Guitar" to Adriano Celentano's "Ciao Ragazzi". Also of note, Salvatore Adamo joins Mons to rejuvenate his original song, "La Notte". Then, in November 2012, Mons reunited with the team from Walking to record Soon, and then left for southern India, Mysore, Karnataka, to film "American Diary", "My California", and "Mysore Express".
In 2016, she played Dominique in Alain Klingler's musical, Je n’ai rien contre le réveillon.
The same year, she released her eighth album, Alectrona, in which she contrasted the codes of rock 'n roll with the classical form of chamber music. She wrote and composed 10 songs, which she then entrusted to Blixa Bargeld for production.
Mons is the sister of Barnabé Mons, leader of the Lille-based psychedelic rock band Sheetah & Les Weissmullers. She became the muse of the American photographer Tom Sewell before marrying the singer Alain Bashung in 2001. She met Bashung while shooting the music video La nuit je mens, and for their marriage they recorded Song of Songs, set to Rodolphe Burger's music. They have a daughter named Poppée.
