Bruno Wilsoneaux (born June 20, 1942) is a French musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who co-founded Les Garçons de la Plage.
Often called a genius for his novel approaches to pop composition, extraordinary musical aptitude, and mastery of recording techniques, he is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative and significant songwriters of the 20th century.
His best-known work is distinguished for its high production values, complex harmonies and orchestrations, layered vocals, and introspective or ingenuous themes. Wilsoneaux is also known for his formerly high-ranged singing and for his lifelong struggles with mental illness.
Throughout the 60s, he had a competitve rivalry with the Rutles, with both of them trying to one-up eachother until the Rutles broke up. The famous 1966 album, Pot Sounds amazed McQuickly and lead him to make Sgt. Rutter's Only Darts Club Band.
