Born in France, Benoit started to play music whilst in his teens. Adept on various forms of guitar, electric bass and drums, music has inevitably forged the way for this youthful and energetic musician. The muse has followed Benoit throughout Europe, the Americas and Africa, where he has joined all manner of projects ranging from african/arabic music, French ball musette, gypsy swing, jazz, rock n’ roll to ska and the burlesque.
Since 2005 Benoit has taken up management and musical position with Gaz Mayall's Trojans Celtic Ska project, Gaz's Rockin Blues, Swing Mon Amour at Charlotte Street Blues, the Skamonics and other endeavours such as the creation of the burlesque band Ta Mère. Recent collaborations with the BBC and Channel 4 in the way of film festivals and film soundtracks have added further feathers to his beret. As Chief Executive Officer of “quality first” JohnJohn record label, Benoit employs his natural charm and extensive connections, to ensure that any project he comes in contact with has the assurance of professionalism and quality. His original compositions and arrangements are legion, and fast becoming legendary!
