Antonia Bennett with special guest Jason Marsalis
Antonia Bennett lives her life and musical career by Duke Ellington's advice, "Number one, never give up. Number two, remember number one!" Antonia is a jazz vocalist and the daughter of legendary artist Tony Bennett. With a distinctive voice that The New York Times describes as "Billie Holliday and Rickie Lee Jones, with a hint of Betty Boop." Antonia is a gifted song interpreter who performs music from the Great American Songbook and her own originals.
The youngest daughter of Tony Bennett and actress Sandra Grant Bennett, Antonia grew up in Los Angeles and started singing with her father by age four. During that time, Antonia was surrounded by some of the greatest vocalists of all time, including Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra – known to get up and sing at her father's parties during the holidays. Antonia's passion for music grew stronger. After high school, she attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Her most recent album "Embrace Me," showcased ten standards from the Great American Songbook, including "All of You," "Embraceable You," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and "Nice Work if You Can Get It." With this release, the songstress continued to capture the attention of critics. JazzTimes wrote, “Natalie Cole. Norah Jones. Now, Antonia Bennett can be added to the list of second-generation vocalists with the potential to rival an iconic parent's pizzazz."
Currently, Antonia is working on new music, in collaboration with other writers, that will feature her vocal prowess and songwriting skills. Antonia continues to tour with new music and jazz standards.
