Benedek

The story

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Benedek (aka Nicholas Benedek) is a multifaceted musician/producer specializing in a futuristic, yet classic brand of modern-funk. Benedek was introduced to the electric guitar at age nine and was naturally drawn to funk and jazz-fusion while studying under a protege of veteran musicians George Benson and Phil Upchurch. His curiosity for the expressive capabilities of synthesizers lead him to begin experimenting with beat production on Nintendo’s Game Boy Camera software
