Artist History BENTONMUSIC.COMBIOPaul David BentonThere is a state of confusion in the music industry. What is Country, Pop, Christian, ….? The answer is Schizophonia, multiple musical genres. Radio surfers have long scanned the electronic dials for the best of the best in each format. Pop fans shamefully listen to their favorite country songs from the nearest closet and visa versa. Simply give them what they want. The answer to today’s confused listener is singer/songwriter/producer Paul David Benton, SCHIZOPHONIA,Vol. 1.Paul “David” Benton is the King of Schizophonia. Born in the Ouachita Valley of southern Arkansas and coming from a very talented musical family. David’s sister attended Ouachita Baptists University on a full music scholarship. Mother, Dolores, has made multiple singing appearances at the Bluebird Café and Good Morning Arkansas with her nostalgic trio, The Belles. Growing up in the small southern town of Camden, multi-format radio was the one and only choice for David at that time. Exposure to this broad scope of music, along with strong religious roots, led to an appreciation of all musical genres. After winning awards like 1st in region on the trumpet, David began to pick up other more romantic instruments, guitars. Singing and touring the southern states with sister, Sherri, in a contemporary Christian group, Spirit Wind, and singing at the capitol rotunda in Washington D.C. led to David forming his own group. Euphony played locally and at high school functions. College days were spent learning the keyboard and honing his songwriting skills. The musical highlight of the college days was playing bass and singing in a cajun band, selling out at a local bar, in Monroe, LA which also sold out of drinks that night. These performances led to an offer of tour support. Other members of the band were not as committed to the music, so the offer was left on the table. Songwriting awards and the beat of his own drum drove David to Nashville, in a U-Haul, to pursue songwriting. The culmination of years of hard work have led to David’s first release, DAVID BENTON, SCHIZOPHONIA, VOL. 1. David wrote the songs, sang all the vocals, played all the instruments, and produced the entire cd. Filled with a country flavor, yet recognized by critics as more than just country music.
