My name is Benoît Tonneau, and I am an event and music production professional. As a multi-instrumentalist (bassist, guitarist, percussionist) and concert coordinator, I have developed solid experience working with various associations and projects, and I have had the opportunity to collaborate with artists such as Leroy Horsemouth Wallace, Winston McAnuff, Harrison Stafford, and the Gangbe Brass Band. As a composer and producer of original music projects, my versatility allows me to design creative and innovative projects, structure the technical aspects (technical specifications, recordings, mixing), and coordinate teams and recruitment for events.
