When Benoist was 18 he started playing and singing with some local bands in Brittany and Normandy.

During 1975 he worked with the Switzerland duet Richard et Samuel [fr]. The next year, he learned for a while with Pierre Cullaz (famous sessionman from the sixties ) in Paris.

By the end of the seventies he was a member of the Francis Bourrec [fr] quartet. They won the first prize at La Défense Jazz Festival  [fr] in 1978. That same year he got a certificate from the Berklee College of Music.
