Childhood: New Zealand native Jemaine Clement was born on January 10, 1974, in Masterton. It's hardly surprising that he was raised by a Mori mother and two younger siblings in the Wairarapa region.
– Flight of the Conchords, a comedic team comprised of Jemaine Clement and Bret Peter Tarrant McKenzie, had its start when the two were still in college. This band's first live record, titled "Folk the World Tour," was published in 2002. An EP titled "The Distant Future" followed in 2007 before "Flight of the Conchords" was published in 2008.
His marriage to Manasiadis, a dramatist and actress, took place in August of that year. As Clement was shooting Flight of the Conchords in New York City, they had their first child, Sophocles Iraia, in February of 2013.
