Frédéric Yonnet

Using an instrument that many have owned but few have mastered, urban jazz harmonicist Frédéric Yonnet displays musical skills and delivers stage performances that crush every preconceived notion you’ve ever had about the harmonica.Yonnet presents the harmonica in a refreshing and modern context—as a lead instrument in urban jazz and hip hop. In his hands, the harmonica is stylish, it’s cool, and it’s brilliant. Yonnet’s impressive manner has landed him a tour with Prince and he can frequently be seen dueling on-stage with music legend Stevie Wonder; he’s performed with award-winning songwriter David Foster and Grammy Award winners Erykah Badu, John Legend, and India.Arie.
