Lakecia Benjamin Booking Agency Profile
Three-time GRAMMY nominee Lakecia Benjamin is a saxophonist, composer, arranger, and teacher from New York. Her songs have a distinctive fusion of funk, jazz, and R&B. Her tone is warm and resonant, evoking comparisons to Johnny Griffin, and it fits well with any genre she chooses to perform. She honed her skills with Clark Terry and Terri Lyne Carrington in the early years, and she is also a well-known vocalist accompanist, having worked with artists like Gregory Porter and Theo Crocker. In her leader debut, Retox, produced by Ben Kane, featured a beat-conscious set of original songs and covers of soul and funk. Benjamin performed on Robert Glasper's Everything's Beautiful, an album of reworked Miles Davis songs, on the last track, "Right on Brotha."
Rise Up for Ropeadope, her sophomore album, featured a sequence of original jazz-funk tunes influenced by Prince. Pursuance: The Coltranes was her debut book. Six songs each by Alice and John Coltrane were included in the highly praised set, which Benjamin led with a huge group that included veteran Coltrane sideman Reggie Workman. She reappeared carrying the glamorous Phoenix. With an all-star cast, Carrington produced a music that blended hip-hop, jazz, funky soul, and R&B. The album received widespread acclaim and three GRAMMY nominations..

An example fee to book Lakecia Benjamin is in the starting range of $75,000-$149,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
