Kitt Bender is a singer-songwriter / multi-instrumentalist who is gaining rapid momentum in the music industry and amongst his growing, loyal fan-base.
Joey Welz/ BILL HALEY'S COMETS (MCA) stated that Kitt, “is a rocker, young and raw, who has taken our original stripped down rock and roll. We were the roots, but now Kitt is the plant."
Kitt started living and breathing music at the young age of four when he first played the violin. The violin didn’t last long and was quickly replaced by piano. In his teen years, Kitt developed his musicianship further by adding guitar, bass, and drums to his skill set, all perfect instruments to accompany his natural born tenor voice.
In his teens and early college years, Kitt toured with various groups throughout the entire continental US as well as Australia. He has performed dozens of times in almost every state including such cities as Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville, Memphis, Springfield, Madison, Newark, Ft. Lauderdale, Denver, Dallas, Tulsa, Oklahoma City and many more.
While touring and performing, Kitt found his original voice as a singer-songwriter and started seriously writing and producing his own music. Eventually, his passion for music led him to Tulsa Oklahoma to pursue a degree in music composition with an emphasis on technology.
Soon after college, Kitt found himself at rock bottom having lost everything but his recording gear and a new found channel for the songs inside of him. His debut album, One of Those Days, was birthed as he commuted by bicycle to his make-shift studio in a remodeled storage shed as he began the healing journey toward finding his poetic and musical voice. This expressive project was self-released in 2009.
The album has since been well received by the music industry. Kitt has been recognized by the prestigious L.A. Music Awards (Hollywood), Alpha Music Group A & R firm (New York), Jan Cooper, famed vocal coach, (Vancouver, Canada) and Canadian-American Records. Currently, Kitt’s music is being prepared for representation by AMG in New York.
