Frank Soucy is a French Canadian Guitarist and composer from Montréal, Québec. Starting with rock music as a teenager, his Jazz Manouche journey started in 2010 when he found his first D hole style guitar, taught himself and headed west, Hallelujah!

His adventures brought him back home after being tragically hit by a truck, reassessing priorities, he went back to shedding and met the right people. Started a band with French co- composer and violin virtuoso Raphael Tristan-Jouaville called La Verdine, winning the Django Reinhardt Festival’s Scène des Luthiers Competition (Samois-sur-Seine, France) in 2018, organised by famous rhythm guitarist Mathieu Chatelain. This followed the release of their first album of compositions La Belle Époque in 2019 and a second tour in Europe , playing on main stage at Django Reinhardt Festival their compositions that transcend traditional gypsy jazz, inspired by impressionist/classical to modern jazz as much as atonal and rock music. More encounters afterwards brought him to tour with many more bands including an Eastern European tour with Les Poissons Voyageurs, feeding on great serendipity.
