Eric Benét
Born and raised in Milwaukee, Eric Benét grew up surrounded by music as he so aptly describes it, ‘on a cellular level.’ His siblings loved to sing and harmonize together, and the family had subscriptions to all the industry music magazines, so the seeds were being planted. His music group, Benét, put a demo together and scored their first record deal with EMI in 1991. After the record didn’t generate a hit single and the label dropped them. Life was challenging at the time- Eric was a single father to daughter India after his partner was killed in a car accident, and making ends meet by working at UPS. During that time, he made a few more demos which found their way to Warner Bros Records into the hands of Alison Ball, who had been with EMI. She knew a hit when she heard one, and his second album, True to Myself, was released to great acclaim in 1996. He followed with A Day in the Life (1999) which generated his first #1 single with Tamia, "Spend My Life." His life changed dramatically after that time, and he started touring internationally, finding tremendous joy in hearing his music and lyrics sung by fans all over the world. In 2023, he joined forces with longtime friend and experienced music executive Alison Ball to create JBR Creative Group. The record label is behind Benét’s most exciting album to date, Duets, which will feature duets with today’s top R&B recording artists.
