"Jeffrey Lebowski, is "The Dude," Donny Benét, is "The Don." Quite simply."

Praised and panned by critics as "Prince on a serious budget cut," Donny Benét is best described as the favourite nephew to Uncles Giorgio Moroder, Alan Vega and Michael McDonald.

Hailing from Australia, Benét's debut album Don't Hold Back confused and intrigued many whilst quickly establishing him as a cult figure in the Australian music scene. Donny's piece de resistance The Don, which featured the breakthrough single Konichiwa facilitated his first invitation to tour Europe in 2018. In no time at all Europe had caught a fever that only Donny could quell each time he returned to perform. Several sold out European tours later, alongside regular US touring led Donny to follow up with his 2020 album Mr Experience and instrumental EP Le Piano.
2023 saw Donny creating his own label Donnyland Records, which led to the announcement and release of his 6th album Infinite Desires.

Touring Europe and the US since 2018, Donny regularly sells out headline shows and has performed at festivals such as Outsidelands, Pukkelpop, Green Man Festival, Rock Werchter, Dour Festical, Down the Rabbit Hole, Pohoda Festival, Zomerparkfeest and Rock For Churchill, to name a few.

A perfectionist, Benét writes, performs and records entirely by himself at the
renowned Donnyland Studios. Vintage synthesisers and drum machines are used exclusively by Donny when presenting his hot takes on life, love and relationships. A masterful bassist, his songs are instantly recognised by their signature basslines, timeless production and tongue in cheek lyrics.
