Benson and Tonic grew up in a Caribbean environment and became close friends, where it seems like they always had something up their sleeves. Their musical careers began separately, Benson as he is infamously known, began his career observing local dj's in his town and instantly falling in love with the craft decided to learn from at the time the most talented dj on the island Dj Quxx. He quickly learned the ropes and performed at many parties and shows even surprising himself with the talent that he had developed at such a young age. By the time he was 20, he branched off to help younger kids develop their (What we call in the Caribbean) Sound Systems. Around 2003 Benson was introduced to a program formally known as Cool Edit (now Adobe Premiere) by Dj Quixx and again instantly fell in love with it. His love for music and now new technological advances, Benson furthered his knowledge of music mixing and creating to a whole new level. Today, Being the humble student that he is, is now mastering the craft of music production at every angle possible. From composing to mixing and mastering he is definitely on the right path to success. With his roots coming from Antigua in the Caribbean and Kenya in Africa from both parents and then being born in Chicago Illinois doesn't hurt the fact that his musical diversity is one of worldwide proportion. Tonic at a very young age learned the art of Classical piano as most young students he urged for more musical knowledge. During his final years of high school, Tonic became involved in becoming a dj and quickly learned the art as he had many friends who were involved in the art form. Tonic became known as Dj tonic and was affectionately called this because of his inner energy like the old energy booster SSS the iron tonic. He gave up his dj days to further his education as an engineer in the United States where him and Benson (who also retired from the scene) linked up once again but this time for a different journey together. They realized that their love for music had not burned out just yet and formed a dj trio with another Jamaican talented brother Joseph aka MPC and Synergy entertainment was born. Today Synergy entertainment is still around and plays for various occasions around southern Louisiana Texas and Atlanta. Benson and Tonic however are geared for a different journey that includes musical composition beat making and fusing their Caribbean flavor with world genres like hip hop, r&b Zouk, African, and many more. Be sure to check out their music and support them enormously.
