About Frédéric Yonnet
Frédéric Yonnet is an urban jazz harmonicist who crushes every preconceived notion you've ever had about the harmonica. With each performance, stereotypical walls come tumbling down as Yonnet presents the harmonica in a modern context that is boldly stylish, inherently cool, and absorbingly brilliant. A virtuoso who effortlessly traverses platforms, from stage to television and film, and genres spanning jazz, blues, R&B, funk, rock, and hip-hop, Yonnet constantly pushes musical boundaries, leaving an indelible mark wherever his harmonica breathes life into sound. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Yonnet's "Eavesdrop" concerts – live from his home in DC – captivated live and online audiences around the world. He has toured and recorded with legends Stevie Wonder, Prince and David Foster and performed alongside contemporary icons Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Erykah Badu, John Legend, The Roots, Usher, Anderson Paak, Robert Glasper, and hip-hop ciphers Talib Kweli, Yasiin Bey, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest. His contributions to the movie scores of Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "The Irishman" further underscore his versatility and artistry.
