Discussing the Legendary Tony Bennett with His Son, Engineer/Producer Dae Bennett
Dae Bennett was born in the Bronx and raised in northern New Jersey. Being the son of singer Tony Bennett, he was exposed to music and the entertainment industry from an early age. Learning to play drums at age 9 during the British invasion, he became a working musician while still in high school. Dae joined Quacky Duck, an eclectic rock band that became an early 70’s fixture in the east coast club scene. The band was signed to Warner Bros. Records when Dae was 17, and he spent his 18th birthday in the studio working on the group’s album.
In his late 20’s he built his first professional studio where countless hits were recorded during those early days of Rap and Hip Hop… from artists such as Rob Base, Naughty by Nature, Salt n Peppa, and producer Teddy Riley with Guy and Wreckx-n-Effect.
Dae has worked with artists including Lady Gaga, CC Winans, Diana Krall, Amy Winehouse, Esperanza Spaulding, Josh Groban, Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, Trey Anastasio, Naughty by Nature, Wynton Marsalis, Regina Bell, Benny Goodman, The Bacon Brothers, Petula Clark and Tony Bennett. Dae’s new studio is called Studio At Flat Rock.
