Benét was his mother’s maiden name, and he was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is the youngest of five siblings.

Benét’s father loved rap music and inspired an interest in music in his son. He sang with a Top 100-style group called Gerard in the late 1980s. Benét, his sister Lisa, and his cousin George Nash Jr. formed a band called Benét and released a self-titled album in 1992, but it only sold 100,000 copies.

Benét’s career-building, however, was interrupted by a series of personal tragedies. His father died of cancer. Next his girlfriend Tami Marie Stauff died of injuries suffered in an automobile crash (April 24, 1993) after languishing in a coma for five days. He took a job with United Parcel Service in Milwaukee and eased back into music by producing demo recordings for local artists.

From 2001 to 2005, he was married to actress Halle Berry.

He has a daughter, India (with Stauff, born in 1992). ….Read More

Naturally 7 ,

Naturally 7 is an American music group with a distinct a cappella style they call “Vocal Play”. They sing primarily R&B with extensive beat-boxing. Band members are Garfield Buckley, Rod Eldridge, Warren Thomas, Jamal Reed, Roger “N’glish” Thomas, Dwight Stewart, and Armand “Hops” Hutton. Their style is strongly reminiscent of Take 6.
They are a unique wonder. Collectively, they have a talent that journalists are lost for words to explain. Seven young men from New York whose voices construct the most amazing harmonies and replicate the sounds of a variety of instruments so well that they decided that their album would be just that. Only voices. No instruments.

‘Wall of Sound’ is an astonishing body of work. It is an upbeat, positive, optimistic record that bucks the trend on every level of our ‘”instant access, reality popstar” culture. Heavily influenced by RnB, Gospel and Motown, this band arranges and produces their own tracks, adding a distinctive ‘Naturally 7′ element to them. Full of classic tracks such as ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, ‘More Than Words’, and the self penned ‘Wall of Sound’, the entire album is something completely different. Having worked together since 2002, these boys rehearse, practice and rehearse again constantly to recreate their favourite tracks in a way no one else has heard them before. The commitment and focus is second to none and the results prove how gifted and extraordinary they truly are. ….Read More
