| About | THE FONKMASTERS
The Fonkmasters are award-winning innovators of funkafied electro urban grooves with smooth contemporary jazz and dance sensibilities. Gregory J. Bennett, founder and creative force behind Fonkmasters, surrounded himself with some talented vocalists to record and help bring his special brand of contemporary and old school funk to the masses. Among some of Gregory’s most recent accomplishments, having a positive impact in this ever-changing entertainment industry have been the primary focus. His entry into the mobile music industry has been successful, as he generated sales of over a 1000 ringtones and sexytones per month. Some of Gregory’s instrumental tracks have been licensed to cable TV programming, most recently VH-1 and MTV. The VH-1 shows includes; Behind The Music and My Coolest Years. On MTV's Room Raiders and Trailer Fabulous. Also, a DVD project entitled 'Gastineau Girls', music-on-hold applications and mobile games licensed Greg's music. His music can also be heard on the soundtrack of the highly anticipated film, ‘Cain and Abel’ of Mercury Rising Films. Gregory received the Listen and Exchange Award for being one of the Top 10 indie producers in 2003. After performing and touring with Chaka Khan as an opening act from the late 70’s to the early 80’s and currently as a composer/producer, Gregory has taken everything from dance to pop, from Jazz to hiphop and melded all of these genres into a delightful synthesis of sensuous, seductive and provocative urban music gumbo(being from Louisiana). Some of my early influences included; Parliament Funkadelic, George Duke, Grover Washington, Rufus, Herbie Hancock, just to name a few. |
