Early life

Family and upbringing

Thomas Pablo Croquet was born on November 21, 1976, in , , into a family of and heritage. His father, Jean-Louis Croquet, contributed to the family's cultural roots in the region. The family maintained a connection to broader European intellectual circles through his uncle, the renowned literary critic, , and (1934–2015), whose work and personal library exposed Mars to from a young age. Karasek, described by Mars as a "fun encyclopedia" and a supportive figure who read to him as a child, played a key role in sparking Mars' interest in and by sharing books and stories that bridged , , and English traditions. Mars spent his childhood in the suburban town of Versailles, located just outside , an environment steeped in historical grandeur due to its proximity to the Palace of Versailles. He later reflected on the area as feeling like a "museum," where the weight of the past overshadowed contemporary creativity, fostering a sense of cultural preservation over innovation. This setting, while culturally rich, offered limited outlets for youthful expression, with local authorities often restricting music-related activities, such as band practices that drew police attention by 10 p.m. Early exposure to music came through both family and local influences, shaped by his parents' affinity for the French movement, which embraced culture elements like , jeans, and jukeboxes. At home, the family listened to American standards and records, often with French-translated lyrics, reflecting a broader absence of a vibrant domestic music scene during that era. Locally, opportunities were scarce; as a child, Mars attended only two notable concerts— and —which stood out amid the town's general resistance to modern music-making. In early adulthood, Croquet adopted the stage name Thomas Mars, under which he would build his professional music career.

Education and musical beginnings

Thomas Mars briefly attended a local college in France, where he enrolled to study economics in the mid-1990s, but he dropped out after just four days to dedicate himself fully to music. This decision came amid his growing passion for performance, which he later described as his primary skill alongside bartending. At the time, Mars was already experimenting with music alongside childhood friends, prioritizing creative pursuits over formal education. Mars's early musical interests were shaped by his family's exposure to language and culture, particularly through his uncle, the German writer Hellmuth Karasek, who inspired him to learn English and introduced him to international sounds. This linguistic foundation led Mars to immerse himself in British and American indie rock during his teenage years in the 1990s, filling a perceived gap in contemporary French music beyond electronic acts like Daft Punk and Air. He cited these influences as pivotal in developing his vocal style and songwriting, drawing from the melodic and energetic qualities of bands in that scene. During his school years in Versailles, Mars formed close friendships with future Phoenix bandmates Christian Mazzalai and Deck d'Arcy, bonding over shared interests in music during their youth in informal jam sessions. As teenagers in the 1990s, the trio began their first musical experiments, covering artists like and during informal gigs across to hone their skills. These efforts culminated in 1997 when they self-released their debut single, "Party Time / ," on their independent label Ghettoblaster, marking the initial output under the Phoenix name.

Career

Formation and success with Phoenix

Phoenix was officially formed in 1996 in Versailles, France, by schoolfriends Thomas Mars on lead vocals, Christian Mazzalai on guitar, and Deck d'Arcy on bass. The band initially operated under the name Phoenix, drawing from their shared interest in indie and electronic sounds, with Mars emerging as the charismatic frontman guiding the group's creative direction. In 1996, Laurent Brancowitz, Mazzalai's older brother and former member of the short-lived band Darlin', joined on guitar, solidifying the lineup that has remained intact since. During their early years, Phoenix leveraged connections in the UK's music scene after signing with Source Records, a subsidiary of Virgin. This facilitated their debut album, United, released in 2000, which blended indie pop with electronic elements and featured singles like "Too Young" and "If I Ever Feel Better." The album marked their entry into the international market, establishing a foundation through TV appearances as backing band for labelmates Air and building a cult following in Europe and the US.

This album helped expand their audience, setting the stage for wider recognition. Their fourth album, (2009), propelled them to international stardom, propelled by the hit single "1901," which became a staple in media placements and topped alternative charts. The album earned Phoenix the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album at the in 2010.

Ti Amo continued this trajectory, highlighted by "J-Boy," which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and showcased Mars' matured, emotive range in a tribute to a close friend. The 2022 album Alpha Zulu reflected further evolution, with Mars' vocals integrating introspective depth and stadium-ready bombast, produced in the Louvre during lockdown.

Mars' contributions extend to soundtracks, particularly for Sofia Coppola's films, where Phoenix provided original scores for Somewhere (2010), The Beguiled (2017), On the Rocks (2020), and Priscilla (2023), blending his vocal style with atmospheric instrumentation to enhance the directors' melancholic narratives.

Collaborations and side projects

One of Thomas Mars' earliest side projects involved using the pseudonym Gordon Tracks to provide vocals for the French electronic duo Air's track "Playground Love," released in 2000 as part of the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola's film The Virgin Suicides. The song, which Mars co-wrote with Air members Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel alongside saxophonist Hugo Cabret, blended dreamy electronica with lounge influences and achieved commercial success, peaking at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2022, Mars collaborated with , one half of , during the production of Phoenix's album , where Bangalter provided input on several tracks, including "Tonight" featuring Vampire Weekend's . This marked a significant intersection of Mars' work with the French electronic scene, building on longstanding mutual influences between the artists. Mars has also contributed to film scores beyond his early involvement with The Virgin Suicides. For Sofia Coppola's 2020 comedy On the Rocks, he led Phoenix in composing original music and an exclusive soundtrack song, "Identical," which features his lead vocals and underscores the film's themes of family and introspection. Throughout his career, Mars has made guest appearances with various French electronic acts, enhancing the "French Touch" movement's legacy. Notable examples include providing vocals on a 2024 re-recording of Kavinsky's "Nightcall" alongside Belgian singer Angèle, where Phoenix also handled production, and live performances reuniting him with Air for "Playground Love" in 2024 after two decades. In September 2025, Mars and Phoenix formed the supergroup UFOs with French house producers Braxe + Falcon, releasing the debut single "UFO."

Personal life

Relationship and marriage

Thomas Mars first met filmmaker Sofia Coppola in 1999 on the set of her directorial debut, The Virgin Suicides, where he was invited by the French band Air to provide drums and vocals for the soundtrack track "Playground Love." This initial collaboration marked the beginning of a professional and personal connection that would deeply influence their respective artistic careers. Their romantic relationship developed in the early 2000s, transitioning from shared creative projects into a enduring partnership characterized by reciprocal inspirations across music and cinema. Phoenix, the band fronted by Mars, contributed the original score to Coppola's 2010 film Somewhere, exemplifying how their personal bond fueled innovative cross-medium work that enriched both their outputs. On August 27, 2011, Mars and Coppola exchanged vows in an intimate civil ceremony at Palazzo Margherita, the Coppola family estate in Bernalda, Italy, attended by approximately 80 family members and close celebrity friends. The event, elegant and understated with Coppola wearing a custom lavender tulle gown by Azzedine Alaïa, reflected her signature cinematic sensibility, complete with her father, Francis Ford Coppola, escorting her down the aisle. Post-marriage, their synergy extended to further soundtrack contributions, including Mars' compositions for Coppola's On the Rocks (2020) and Priscilla (2023), underscoring the partnership's ongoing impact on his musical endeavors. The union has resulted in two children.

Family and residences

Thomas Mars and his wife, filmmaker Sofia Coppola, have two daughters: Romy Mars, born on November 28, 2006, and Cosima Mars, born on May 18, 2010. The family has resided primarily in New York City since 2010, shortly after Cosima's birth, while Mars maintains strong ties to France through frequent travels to Paris for his work with the band Phoenix, including monthly visits to preserve their cultural roots. This bicoastal lifestyle allows the family to balance Mars' professional commitments with a stable home base in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood. Mars and Coppola prioritize privacy in their family life, rarely sharing public photos or details about their daughters, a approach that aligns with Coppola's longstanding preference for shielding her children from media scrutiny. This discretion extends to limited family appearances, such as the occasional red-carpet outing, emphasizing a low-profile existence despite their connections to through Coppola's lineage, including her father, director . Romy Mars has begun emerging as a in her own right, launching an career in 2024 with the release of pop singles like "Stuck Up" and "," followed by "A-Lister" in 2025, marking a notable extension of the family's creative legacy while respecting their emphasis on .

Public appearances and media

In a 2022 interview with NME, Phoenix members reflected on the band's longevity, crediting their over 20-year career to preserving "some kind of purity and something genuine" in both their music and longstanding friendships among band members. Mars also honored the late producer Philippe Zdar, who passed away in 2019 from an accidental fall, calling him "joy and chaos; a whirlwind" and emphasizing how Zdar's collaborative spirit made bands stronger, as evidenced by his work on all of Phoenix's previous albums.

He described the setting as "surreal and really inspiring," evoking the mythical paradise of and underscoring the band's deepened artistic commitment through intensified debates and self-production in Zdar's absence.

In 2024, Mars discussed the Paris Olympics closing ceremony supergroup—featuring French acts like Air, Vitalic, and Kavinsky—with Vulture, revealing that Air was the initial choice to join for a performance of their shared track "Playground Love." Addressing speculation about Daft Punk's potential reunion, he clarified, "Daft Punk doesn’t exist anymore. That was never an option," stressing the duo's definitive disbandment and the unrealistic expectations for their return.
