Thomas Mars is a French musician, best known as the lead singer of the four-piece French indie-pop band 'Phoenix.' He formed the band with his school-friends Chris Mazzalai and Deck d'Arcy in the early 1990s. The band initially backed for the duo 'Air,' along with whom Mars wrote a track in the directorial debut of his wife, Sofia Coppola. Working together on the film, Mars and Coppola developed a bond and eventually started dating. Sofia roped in 'Phoenix' for her next ventures, too. As a band member, Mars saw mainstream success after the release of their fourth album, 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.' The album brought them a 'Grammy,' and one of the tracks, '1901,' was regarded as their best ever.
