He has also acted in the short black and white film Lick the Star, The Virgin Suicides, both directed and co-written by his cousin Sofia Coppola. He has also acted in The Princess Diaries. He adopted his grandfather's first name as part of his stage name. He was a vocalist for the song "Party" by Demi Lovato.
Schwartzman was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of actress Talia Shire (née Coppola) and the late producer Jack Schwartzman. Many other members of Schwartzman's family are involved in film; he is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, cousin of Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola, Roman Coppola and Christopher Coppola, and grandson of Italia Coppola (née Pennino) and Carmine Coppola (the source of his old stage name). His brother is Jason Schwartzman, lead singer of the band Coconut Records (also an actor and former drummer of the band Phantom Planet) and his half-brother is cinematographer John Schwartzman. Carmine is of Italian descent on his mother's side and Jewish descent on his father's.

Without actually sounding like Mika, it reminds me of Mika. If that makes sense. Maybe because it's got a retro feel.
