Bill Bennett
Detroit, MI
Bill's music career started 16 years ago when as an aerobics instructor he found himself frustrated with the "cheesy " music he was given by the gym owners to use for his step classes. He then began to remix his own music and soon after found lines of up to 70 people forming an hour before his classes to guarantee a spot.

Bill has stated in previous interviews that when he looks back he can see clearly that he was not only healing himself; but he helped other people discover the truth in their own goals and bring their inside selves out to shine. And through the magic of music (which he believes is a gift from a higher power ) he helped his aerobic classes forgot about their problems and celebrate their spirit utilizing music and movement. Something that he does not only with his aerobic classes but to his dance floors; DJ Tony Ruiz of Pittsburgh had stated "I've never in my DJ career, seen a DJ so attached to his dance floor."
Over the past 15 years Bill has learned to resonate with the power of music and he now uses it to on his dance floor and aerobic classes to strip away all the fear and self doubt that plagues us all. It wasn't long until he began dj'ing in the clubs. He landed a Saturday night residency in Detroit at a new club called COBALT and soon found lines wrapped around the building with people driving from surrounding States just to dance his versions of their favorite songs. Within a few years Bill was nationally known and was offered a residency at SPLASH in NYC. He remained at Splash for three years and then did two world tours; IGNITION and MANHUNT
His remix of FROZEN By Madonna was submitted to Ms. M's people for a possible version to be used on her Re-Invention Tour. Though she used the regular ballad album version, we still would love to see her tear up Bill's version Live. After years of touring, Anyone could see that an album was in the future. He has taken one year off of DJing to work on his first album DJ BILL BENNETT BIG MUSCLE OF THE RHYTHM. Bill studied music with Roger Fisher (one of the original guitarists from the 80's rock band HEART ) in Seattle and then started to develop his own sound that he calls "circuit rock ." He has also partnered with producer Pete Masitti ( who has worked with Shakira, Backstreet Boys ,Van Halen and Hootie and The Blowfish ) on his upcoming album.
