Benoit Grenier: Producer, Arranger, Sound Engineer

Benoit Grenier, known artistically as "Ben Grenier," is a Canadian multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and composer born in the Laurentians, Quebec, in the 1960s. Raised with private music instruction, he began playing drums at a young age before mastering piano, guitar, and bass. In the 1980s, Grenier developed a passion for M.I.D.I. technology, enabling him to compose and playback scores using advanced computer music software and samplers of the era. This sparked a deeper interest in sound engineering, spanning analog and digital techniques.

At 18, Grenier moved to Toronto to immerse himself in English culture, perfect his language skills, and perform with diverse musicians. Returning to Quebec, he honed his craft in musical production under John Farley, discovering his true calling as a producer, studio musician, arranger, and sound engineer.

Since launching his professional career in 1990, Grenier has contributed to numerous albums across genres like new age, classical, rock, and pop. His versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer shines through in his work as a composer and performer, enriching soundtracks and live performances. Grenier’s introspective approach and musical passion continue to define his multifaceted career.
