Yohan Hennequin
Singer-songwriter, artistic director, musician, painter and creator of cultural projects.
For nearly twenty years, I have been crafting stories through music.
As a founding member of Cats on Trees, nominated for the Victoires de la Musique, I have had the opportunity to perform on
stages across France and internationally, to collaborate with numerous artists, to work with The Voice
Belgium as an artistic coach, and to develop projects ranging from songs to music for film,
live performance, advertising and bespoke creations.
I love composing music that tells a story. An emotion, an encounter, a character,
a place or simply a story.
Over the years, I have developed a highly versatile approach that enables me to contribute at every stage
of a project: composition, songwriting, artistic production, musical direction, sound design, and the creation of
performances or immersive experiences.
Alongside this, I continue to work as a painter, where music and imagery interact naturally. This dual
approach nourishes each of my creations.
Currently, I am developing ‘Regards Sonores’, an inclusive artistic project I conceived with the
poet Léo Blanc. Supported by several institutional and cultural partners, it invites people with
disabilities to become co-creators of their own portrait, accompanied by a song and a
poem.
Regards Sonores can be hosted by businesses, local authorities, foundations, healthcare organisations,
cultural venues or private events in various formats: immersive exhibitions, talks, concerts,
participatory workshops or sponsorship projects. It is an artistic initiative that brings teams together, fosters
dialogue around inclusion and creates a profoundly human experience.
I am always keen to explore new projects.
Whether it’s composing original music, designing a sound identity, devising a
bespoke artistic creation or bringing Regards Sonores to life within an organisation, above all I love to create
connections.
Let’s create something meaningful.
