Calvin Bennett is your favourite producer’s next favourite producer.
With a background as an award-winning guitarist and songwriter, Bennett’s approach to his most profound passion, music production, has an instantly noticeable musicality and alluring instrumentation sometimes lacking in more on-the-grid style beats. His diverse, genre-blending sounds combine lo-fi hip hop, jazz, r&b and pop, influenced by the likes of J Dilla and Pharrell, and drawing comparisons as far-reaching as Tom Misch, Phoebe Bridgers and Tyler The Creator.
His latest solo and collab releases showcase his array of talents, with intricate and emotional guitar solos accompanied by smooth keys and mellow, understated drums, resulting in a dreamy instrumental to ponder life to... while your head involuntarily nods along. Having signed last year a worldwide distribution deal with Downtown Music Services/DashGo that will see the musical nomad work with a range of artists from L.A. to Europe, expect to be hearing plenty of new sounds from the prolific Bennett — both solo and for other artists.
