Michel Haumont is a French guitarist, composer, and arranger. Born on December 26, 1957, he met Marcel Dadi in the mid-1970s and began teaching guitar lessons in his stead, while also publishing a beginner's method book. He released his debut album, Guitare instrumentale avec tablatures (1975), on the Cézame label at age 17. Throughout the 1980s, he accompanied singers including Philippe Chatel and Gilbert Laffaille, while also collaborating with Maxime Le Forestier and accompanying artists such as Véronique Rivière, Julien Clerc, Francis Lalanne, Georges Moustaki, and Pierre Barouh. He participated in the creation of the Paris Guitare Rendez-Vous concert series. His compositions gained renewed popularity in Asia through recordings by Korean prodigy Sungha Jung on YouTube. His albums include Rêves éveillés (1979), Ma guitare (2004), and the digital-only collaboration Georges Brassens (2013) with guitarist Manu Galvin.
