No specific religious beliefs are documented, though his upbringing suggests a secular environment.

Career

Mazué launched his music career at 25, performing in Parisian bars with a friend before joining the band La Plage for three years.

His solo career began with the 2006 SACEM des Découvertes award at the Festival Jacques Brel in Vesoul, followed by his debut EP, Terrain d’entente (2007).

Winning Paris Jeunes Talents in 2008 and the FAIR in 2010, he performed at festivals like Printemps de Bourges and Francofolies, opening for artists like Anis, Tété, and Hocus Pocus.

His second album, 33 ans (2014), reflected on aging, while La Femme idéale (2017) celebrated his then-partner, with tracks like “J’attends” featuring Pomme.

In 2015, he contributed “La Résiliation” to Grand Corps Malade’s collective album Il nous restera ça.

His fourth album, Paradis (2020), chronicled his move to Réunion Island, divorce, and life at 40, with hits like “Quand je marche” and duets with Jérémy Frérot and Poupie.

A 2021 reissue included “Des nouvelles,” a tribute to his late mother.

His fifth album, Famille (2025), released via Tokita, explores family dynamics and universal stories, featuring collaborations with Yoa and Vincent Dedienne.
