Jean-Louis Aubert

See also Jean-Louis Aubert (1731–1814) for the French dramatist, poet and journalist known as Abbé Aubert.

Jean-Louis Aubert (born 12 April 1955 in Nantua, Ain) is a French guitarist, singer and songwriter. He has also composed music for the cinema and for television, including the soundtrack for the film I've Loved You So Long, starring Kristin Scott Thomas (2007).

In 1976, he co-founded the rock band Téléphone. After their split, he recorded a single album (Platre et Ciment) with Téléphone's drummer Richard Kolinka as Aubert'n'Ko (1987), and in 1989 released his first solo album, Bleu Blanc Vert. Between his work with Téléphone and his successful solo career, Aubert is one of the most iconic singer/songwriters of his generation.
