Early life[edit]
Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo was born on 8 February 1974[1] in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a Parisian suburb.[2] He is the great-grandson of Portuguese poet Homem Cristo Filho, as well as the great-great-grandson of Portuguese military figure Francisco Manuel Homem Cristo, who was forced into exile in France in 1910.[3][4]
He was given a toy guitar and keyboard at around 7 years of age.[5] He was eventually given an electric guitar at age 14; he still uses a guitar when writing music.[6]
