Born in 1981, Clément Ducol began his musical training in childhood with Les Petits Chanteurs de Paris and performed as Yniold in Peter Brook’s staging of Debussy’s opera ‘Pelléas et Mélisande’. A multi-instrumentalist trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Lyon in orchestration and percussion, he first established himself as a key arranger, producer, and composer, collaborating on major albums in France (Camille, Vincent Delerm, Alain Souchon, Vanessa Paradis) and internationally (Melody Gardot, Gregory Porter, Youn Sun Na). After composing original songs alongside Hans Zimmer for Mark Osborne’s ‘The Little Prince’, he turned his focus firmly toward film scoring. He notably composed the score for Andrea Bescond and Éric Métayer’s ‘Little Tickles’ (‘Les Chatouilles’, Cannes 2018), collaborated with Leos Carax and Sparks on ‘Annette’ (César Award for Best Original Score in 2022), and went on to score François Ozon’s ‘Peter von Kant’ as well as the multi-award-winning animated feature ‘Linda Wants Chicken!’. Achieving international acclaim, he co-composed alongside Camille the songs and original score for Jacques Audiard’s musical ‘Emilia Pérez’ (Jury Prize at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival), winning both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Original Score. In 2026, he composed the original score for the box-office success ‘De la Comédie Française’, as well as the songs for Andrea Pallaoro’s feature film ‘The Echo Chamber’, performed by Susan Sarandon and selected in the Official Competition at the 2026 Venice International Film Festival.
