Producer and music composer Benito ‘Mr Benn’ Validum has been in the business for 22 years. Benito, who runs his music business from Orlando, Florida, was first influenced in music by a band out of South Ruimveldt owned by his father, Victor Validum.
Born in South Ruimveldt and one of five children, Benito recalled growing up hearing music being played by the Vic Validum Show Band. During this time, he attended Tucville Primary School. In 1983, Benito left these shores for New York where he subsequently began his music career in 1999.
Though a music composer and producer now who mostly builds tracks, Benito started out as a singer/songwriter and videographer. Over the years, he has dabbled in Rap, HipHop, chanting, and Reggae. Being from the Caribbean, often saw him collaborating as a Reggae artiste.
