Jellybean Benitez (US)
[House, Soul, Afro-beat]
John Benitez was born in South Bronx, New York city, back in 1959. The family lived in an apartment on Burnside Avenue in the Bronx, and his sister Debbie was the one who gave him his nickname - Jellybean.
Already as a child he used to entertain his family and friends by playing them different records on the turntable. This was the time when songs like "Don't leave me this way" by Thelma Houston was among the hottest songs in the charts. It was back then he first started to collect records and he soon learned, during his home sessions, that he could get the "audience" in different moods depending on what song he played...
He always thought of a DJ as a guy playing records on the radio, but when he entered the Sanctuary nightclub in Manhattan in the late seventies his life changed forever... When he heard the DJ mixing two songs together he definitely knew he wanted to become a professional Discotheque DJ! Studio 54 logo Jellybean started his DJ career in 1975 in a club in the Bronx, called Charlie's. But he really wanted to go further... he wanted to work in the famous Manhattan clubs. He got a gig at a club called Experiment 4 and by getting the right contacts he came to play at the trendy Xenon. This was really a break-through for his career...
In a ceremony in September 19, 2005 in New York, Jellybean got full recognition for his successful DJ career when he, along with DJ colleagues Francois Kevorkian and Frankie Knuckles, were voted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame! DJ's already in the Hall of Fame were David Mancuso, Larry Levan and Tee Scott. Remixer award was received by Francois Kevorkian and in 2004 it was given to Tom Moulton.
Other members in the exclusive Dance Music Hall of Fame are Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Barry White, Chic (Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards), Sylvester, Giorgio Moroder & Pete Bellotte, Quincy Jones and Gamble & Huff. There are also some 10 songs inducted as well. In the same ceremony, WestEnd Records's Mel Cheren received a "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his work throughout the years, an award also honored Henry Stone of T.K. Disco fame in the 2004 Awards. There's no understatement to say that the club DJ and remixer from South Bronx have turned out to be one of the most influential moguls of the entertaining industry...
