He started playing the bass when he was thirteen years old, attracted by blues and rock, Jimi Hendrix in particular.

On the same album, his use of harmonics and his groove playing on the track "Chanela" (Rumba) are reminiscent of the great jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius.

In 1995 he suffered a severe accident which injured his left arm, causing Benavent to rethink his future as a musician, but he recovered well.

With his playing style, intuition, rhythm and musicality, he continues to be in demand for live performances and recording sessions.

Carles Benavent plays a Jerzy Drozd custom "Barcelona" type 4-string and 5-string basses, with a high C string instead of standard low B.
