Steve Vai: “Listening to Pierre Bensusan is rejuvenating. Beside his extraordinary touch and tone, the notes and melody appeal directly to the tender side of our human nature.”
George Winston: “One of the truly gifted musicians of our time—he plays the guitar as if it were the very soul of himself.”

He has won numerous awards, including the Rose d’Or at the Montreaux Festival for his very first album, recorded when he was just 17, and been named the “Best World Music Guitar Player” by the readers of Guitar Player magazine.
