Jade Bennett
Jade Bennett is a singer-songwriter hailing from Southern California. Her voice is unmistakeable and her story is amazing. She's perfected the art of sounding like herself. No one sounds like Jade Bennett and Jade Bennett sounds like no one else. She has her own story to tell and her own brand of delivery that will absolutely give you the best chills you've ever felt. Drawing from personal demons and life changing trials, her songs breathe new life into the music world in a dark, sultry, smoky soul infused kaleidoscope of aural genius.
Her performances will level you and if you listen close, they'll change you.
Bennett is currently working on her debut album for Rip Cat Records produced by her husband, writing partner and guitarist, Gino Matteo.
"I'm totally unbiased when it comes to musicianship and talent. If Jade didn't have the chops, I wouldn't put myself out there. She's got it all. She's a brilliant writer, singer, performer, she has something to say, and it doesn't hurt that she's beautiful. She's the absolute complete package… In short, she's a badass"… Gino says.
Jade was born in Redlands, CA to Linda Robles Bennett and John Bennett. Growing up in a family that loved music, she was turned on to the perfect concoction of sounds to create a musician. Soul, Gospel, Funk, Rock, Blues, Oldies…. It was all a part of her daily life. Family members said she even sang before she could speak. So one could say that music is actually her first language.
