BENOIST
He was born in Coulommiers (a little town in the eastern suburbs of Paris) a few years ago. We can't say that it was natural for him to learn how to play music because he was the only one in his family to do it!
In fact, he didn't have any choice: He was obliged to choose between sport and music when he was 9 because his parents didn't want him to look at the TV too much!
So he decided to play trumpet......and after all, year after year, he really enjoyed it. Of course, it wasn't easy in the beginning because trumpet has got a really horrible sound when you start to play it!
When he was at the high school, he began to sing and started his first rock 'n roll band, playing some songs from THE DOORS but it wasn't really serious. After that, he began to learn how to play the guitar and did his first concerts in bars and festivals with an another Rock band.

They played the kind of music that makes you deaf and dumb , like THE WHO and Neil Young .
As he was interested in many types of music, he played also blues, pop , funk and bluegrass music......
He met JB (and also bossa nova style) in 2006, the first of September, the day the marriage of his friend and JB's niece, and now the story continues...... |
