Benoit Charest est né à Montréal en 1964. À l’âge de 13 ans, il se passionne pour la guitare et apprend à l’oreille des pièces des Beatles et de Led Zeppelin. Par la force des choses, il découvre le jazz et décide à 17 ans d’entreprendre des cours privés avec Neil Smolar, diplomé de la Berklee school of music de Boston. Celui-ci lui apprend les rudiments de l’harmonie, ce qui l’aidera grandement à acquérir une plus grande maitrise de l’instrument et de la musique en général. Durant ses études universitaires, Benoit gagne sa vie en jouant avec les meilleurs jazzman de Montréal. C’est en 1991 qu’il signe sa première musique de film, « Montréal rétro » un documentaire de l’Office national du Film pour lequel il compose, arrange et dirige la trame musicale. Depuis, il a compos une quinzaine de bandes sonores dont celle des « Triplettes de Belleville » qui lui a valu de nombreux honneurs dont le César pour la meilleure musique de film.

Benoit Charest was born in Montreal in 1964 to an English mother and a French Canadian father. At the age of 13, Benoit developped a passion for the guitar and for learning music such as the Beatkes and Led Zeppelin by ear. Inevitably, he discovered jazz and as the age of 17, he decided to take private classes with Neil Solar, qualified at Boston’s Berkley School of Music. Solar taught him yhe basic of harmony, which helped him enormously matser the playing of an instrument and understand the music in general. During his university studies Benoit made money playing with the best jazzmen of Montreal. In 1991, Benoit signed his first contract writing music for the film «  Montreal retro » for which he composed, arranged and directed the music. Since then, he has composed about 15 movie soudtracks, notably for the Cesar of the best music written and others price-winning « Les Tiplettes de Bellevvlle ».
