A musician’s musician, Chico Bennett started his career in his early teens when he attracted the attention of music legend Prince, who gave him his first production job at the age of 19. Since that first production, Chico has continued writing, producing and remixing hits.

In 2000 Chico began developing music projects with w super DJ/Producer/Remixer Richard Vission. This proved to be such a great fit that the two soon formed a partnership. Among their other accomplishments, Bennett and Vission were nominated for a Grammy Award for Remixer Of The Year in 2001. That same year Chico began working with actress Hilary Duff (Lizzy McGuire). The actress had never recorded before but wanted to try her hand at it. Chico became a central player in Team Hilary and in the making of all her records and movie soundtrack work.

In 2003, Bennett founded the music production company Zero 1 Entertainment, Inc and Snaptime Music Publishing to develop new artist projects. Through Zero 1 Entertainment, Bennett has developed new artists Stranger Days, J1, Brig Feltus, and Kodi Hill. Always the musical chameleon, Chico has since worked with R&B Superstar Usher, Pop/Rock Princesses The Veronicas, Los Angeles Rap Artist Mann, and Mega Superstar Britney Spears to name a few.

In 2008 launched the label Captive Libertine Recordings, Inc. with artist Brig Feltus.[1]

In early 2013 Chico Bennett and writing/production partner Richard Vission developed the pop group WTF (W3 The Future) who were signed to Young Money Records in the summer of 2013. Immediately following the WTF signing, Bennett and Vission, along with songwriter David “DQ” Quinones (Beyoncé’s “Halo”), collaborated on the development of hot new buzz artists My Crazy Girlfriend.
