He realized early in his life that this mathematical formula works: family+love= music. \nWhen he was in college\, he formed a music group with his sister and cousin called Benet. The group put a demo together and in 1991 they scored their first record deal with EMI. After the record didn’t generate a hit single and the label dropped them his sister decided to return to her job\, but Eric was in it for the long haul and was committed to persevere. Life was challenging at the time- he was a single father to daughter India after his partner was killed in a car accident and making ends meet by working at UPS. During that time\, he made a few more demos which found their way to Alison Ball at Warner Bros Records who had been with EMI. She knew a hit when she heard one and his second album\, True to Myself\, was released to great acclaim in 1996. He followed with A Day in the Life (1999) which generated his first #1 single with Tamia\, Spend My Life. His life changed dramatically after that time\, and he started touring internationally finding tremendous joy in hearing his music and lyrics sung by fans all over the world. \nInfo & Tickets URL:https://bayarearegistry.com/event/eric-benet/ LOCATION:Siesta Valley Bowl\, 100 Gateway Blvd\, Orinda\, 94563 CATEGORIES:Arts + Culture,Lamorinda Area (Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda),Live Music,Performing Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bayarearegistry.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/imgi_2_eric-benet-interview-lead-e1784730595537.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260829 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260830 DTSTAMP:20260823T030509Z CREATED:20260821T195343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260823T030509Z UID:10011731-1787961600-1788047999@bayarearegistry.com SUMMARY:Umoja Health Faith DESCRIPTION:AAACC lists Umoja Health Faith as a public program at the African American Art & Culture Complex.
