Artists & Writers

Simply one of the greatest guitar players in jazz history. Whether playing lead of or as an exceptional rhythm guitarist, Benson fully delivers. He combines this skill with his lush soulful tenor vocal and the combination of singing and guitar playing takes him to some incredible places. From his early work as a member of Brother Jack McDuffs band to his own solo work, to being signed by legendary A&R man John Hammond and releasing soul-jazz albums on Columbia, before output on the legendary Verve and CTI labels.

He has ultimate accumulated 10 Grammy awards across his career and continues to record and perform to the very highest standards.

Thorogood left behind his aspirations to be a baseball player in 1970 and became a musician. In his home state of Delaware he put together his band The Destroyers, then moved to Boston and set about making the best blues, played loud with truckloads of passion that he possibly could. They released their debut album in 1977, learning their craft, polishing their act, before making their major label debut in 1982 with their Bad To The Bone album. This album featured covers of great songs by the Isley Brothers, Chuck Berry, and Bob Dylan but also Thorogood’s trademark song Bad To The Bone. The song didn’t explode to start with, but slowly grew and grew. The song was progressively used in more film making and television productions: the opening of the movie Christine, as well as in Terminator 2, The Parent Trap, Megamind, and in the South Park episode ‘You’re Not Yelping’ and so much more. Thorogood continued to perform and release music, fully becoming the role of the master of good time rocking blues.

Tuinfort showed all the hallmarks of being a young musical protégé. He was able to write and compose sophisticated musical material from a very young age, playing the piano very seriously, in the classical form from just age 6. By the time he reached his teens he was able to create full musical productions. He grew up in the Netherlands, but by 2006 he moved to the United States where he established an incredibly fruitful partnership with Senegalese recording artist Akon. Together they created songs for Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Sia and Michael Jackson. In 2009, he teamed up with David Guetta and together they created a sound, combining EDM with contemporary American pop R&B, which made for some of the most radio programmable material of its time. They entered into a period of record creating and hit making that rates with some of the very best for commercial success. Ultimately this led Tuinfort to win the prestigious BMI songwriter award an unprecedented 30 times. In his home country, the Dutch Royal Family fully commended Tuinfort for his achievements and his contribution to Dutch music on an international scale.
