In addition to his work with The Strokes, Casablancas has led a solo career during the band's hiatus, releasing the album ''Phrazes for the Young'' on November 3, 2009. In 2013, he formed the alternative rock project Julian Casablancas + The Voidz. They released their first album, ''Tyranny'', in 2014. His own label, Cult Records, distributed the album, which earned the 50th place in ''NMEs ''Top 50 Albums Of 2014'' list.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nme.com/photos/nme-s-top-50-albums-of-2014/364635 )〕 Over the years, Casablancas has also collaborated with several other artists on their work, examples being The Lonely Island's 2009 album ''Incredibad'' and Daft Punk's 2013 album ''Random Access Memories''.〔http://pitchfork.com/news/38187-watch-the-lonely-islandjulian-casablancas-boombox-video/〕〔http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/julian-casablancas-reveals-second-daft-punk-collab-20140331〕 == Early life, education, and personal life == Casablancas was born in New York City, to business mogul John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Model Management, and Jeanette Christiansen, a Danish former model and onetime Miss Denmark in 1965. His paternal grandfather, Fernando Casablancas, was a well-known textile businessman in Sabadell, Spain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julian Casablancas – IMDb )〕 His parents divorced and his mother subsequently married painter Sam Adoquei. Adoquei helped shape Casablancas' early musical taste by exposing him to music such as The Doors, which was markedly different from the mostly Phil Collins-influenced music he listened to as a child.〔 In 2005, Julian married Juliet Joslin, who was the assistant manager of The Strokes at the time. In January 2010, they had a son, Cal Casablancas. Julian's father, John Casablancas, died of cancer in July 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nme.com/news/the-strokes/71570#u5kAQczJStxT37ds.99 )〕 Casablancas met the first member of The Strokes, Nikolai Fraiture, while both were attending Lycée Français de New York (Fraiture graduated in 1997, Casablancas in 1996). When he was 14, Casablancas' father sent him to Institut Le Rosey, an elite boarding school in Switzerland. There, he met future Strokes member Albert Hammond, Jr.〔() 〕 Casablancas attended The Dwight School with two other future Strokes, Nick Valensi and Fabrizio Moretti.〔 Casablancas never finished school, but continued to take music classes, where he says he first enjoyed himself in class. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julian Casablancas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
