Welcome

Called to This

I’ve been in music ministry most of my life and have always felt God’s calling from day one. I do believe each musical journey has directed my path to what is now the Jimi Bennett Band!

Over time and much prayer, He brings like-minded musicians together that have a heart for reaching souls and a vision to see a great move of His Holy Spirit! This band is made up of like-minded musicians hungry to see what God has in store for us!

May God bless and anoint our efforts to keep our eyes focused on the main prize: JESUS!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV

Jimi Bennett

Singer, songwriter, musician, and preacher. Jimi formed the StarSong national recording band Sacred Fire and toured the U.S. with GRAMMY-winning groups like Petra and Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart — then joined Rex Carroll of Whitecross to form King James, touring the U.S. and Europe.

Full story

When Jimi’s daughter Heidi was diagnosed with brain cancer, he took time off to be with his family. The Bennetts witnessed a miracle from God and Heidi was healed! Jimi visits many churches to share the Word and testimony of God’s grace in his life. Rex (King) and Jimi (James) came together as King James with Robert Sweet and Tim Gaines of Stryper rounding out the original lineup, recording three CDs. Jimi’s band Viktor recorded the contemporary worship CD “Do You Believe” with dear friends from Petra, produced by John Lawry with Louie Weaver on drums. Jimi continues to work on new music and is available for speaking engagements and performance dates — he would love to come lead worship or bring a message of hope through the Word of God!

Jon Dash

Founder of Last Generation and FYB, Dash’s guitar work earned endorsements from Peavey, Washburn, ADA, and DigiTech. FYB’s catalog of 200+ songs has aired in ten countries — including NCIS and Mercedes-Benz TV commercials. Berklee-trained and a GRAMMY voting member since 2010.

Full story

Last Generation was formed by Jon Dash and Jamie Jones in the late 80s, playing festivals and church concerts through the late 90s and reaching #1 on the Sound of Light radio program syndicated in eight states. Jon is a founding member of FYB (For You Brother), which released “Nice Money” in 2008 and has produced over two hundred songs and four albums, airing on Foreign Affairs, Meet The Parents, Cat House, NCIS, and TNT Broadcast. Mercedes-Benz used “Rollin on Dubs” and “Shot by Cupid” for TV commercials. Dash studied Music Business/Management at Berklee College of Music. Jimi & Dash have been long-time friends and are excited to bring a message of hope in Jesus!

Jean Carllos

A self-taught piano prodigy and Latin GRAMMY winner, Jean joined legendary Brazilian rock group Oficina G3 at twenty-one, recording on eleven albums that sold over five million copies — rocking sold-out arenas and stadiums across Brazil and venues around the world.

Full story

Jean uses his audacious style and unique techniques to innovate and go beyond boundaries with his favorite instrument: the keyboard. A stage performance pioneer, he adapted and mastered a controller giving him full control of his entire stage setup — engaging the audience and making his live performances outstandingly memorable. Jean has also become a visual stylist for his instruments, creating a signature style that paints his unique portrait in both the visual and musical arts. As a Kurzweil, KORG, and ROLAND endorsee, Jean is a sought-after workshop speaker, always sharing his knowledge and love for the instrument, and is always ready to embark on a new journey!

Bring the Message

It’s easy to get comfortable when everything in your daily walk seems to flow well. That should be a clear sign as a Christian to step your game up — to involve yourself deeper in the commission Jesus called us to do!

“Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Luke 14:23 NKJV)

I challenge each of you to make yourself available at any given opportunity to be that light to those desperately looking for hope. I love to sing and speak about God’s amazing love for His creation (John 3:16), His Word that never changes (Hebrews 8:13), and His healing that is available for the asking (Isaiah 53:5)! I look forward to sharing Jesus. — Jimi Bennett
