Quentin Dujardin

Guitarist, composer & producer, Quentin Dujardin creates a unique universe around his nylon-string guitars influenced by jazz, classical music & blues. His unclassifiable work remains immutably attached to sound and emotion. Like a postcard, his melodies create bridges between music from elsewhere and our Western musical heritage.

Notable musical collaborations include Belgian harmonica player Toots Thielemans, American producer Lee Townsend, drummer Manu Katché, Iranian singer Mahsa Vahdat, bass player Richard Bona, as well as Bijan Chemirani, Bert Joris, Olivier Ker Ourio, Nicolas Fiszman, Matthieu Saglio, Ivan Paduart, Didier Laloy, Iva Bittova and many others.

His work as a composer leads him particularly to produce the soundtrack for the theatrical adaptation of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt‘s best-selling novel, Monsieur Ibrahim & des Fleurs du Coran.

In 2011, Quentin Dujardin is invited to join the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation to become an artist ambassador of this association with international influence. His soundtrack for the film Ma Forêt wins an award in 2012 at the United Nations Forum on Forests.

In 2022, the guitarist received the award for Best Composer at Toronto Independent Film Festival (CAN) and at Nederland International Film Festival (US) for his original soundtrack on the film Paradisiac.

After more than a thousand concerts, his music now counts more than 7 million streams in more than a hundred countries.
