How is this for a resume? The production and or lighting director for the current Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga tours. That justifies a damn. He also worked with Prince from 1980 to 1994, so he was the man during Prince’s Purple Rain tour. He has been with Nine Inch Nails for the last 18 years. He’s worked with Beyonce, Jay-Z, Deadmau5, the Weeknd, Madonna, Sade and countless more.

I love getting to read the stories of the people like this. The back stage men and women who have all of the stories and none of the glory. Somehow they manage to keep the disdain not only out of their voices but their minds. It must be so interesting to be a total part of Prince's life and no one really know about it. Bennett sure does not mind talking about his achievements though shouldn't he be able to? He deserves to.
It's superstars like this that most people will never hear of but everyone knows and admires their work in and out of the entertainment production indusrty. The world of entertainment and design In particular are sometimes so far away from their designers I feel and the amount of work and dedication to their craft is just as much as the "talent" on stage while they don't always get the same recognition as they might deserve from an audience. The designer is as much apart of the performance and the overall experience as the performer and in most situations they only will receive any recognition when they mess something up or ruin a performer's performance. But they also should be recognized when they do amazing work as Leroy Bennett has done here.
