Antonia Bennett Antonia Bennett was born on April 7, 1974 in Beverly Hills, California, to legendary singer Tony Bennett and Sandra Grant. Since the age of four, Antonia Bennett has been gracing the stage and serenading audiences internationally alongside her father, Tony Bennett. In fact, some of those early performances were with the legendary American jazz icon Count Basie. Having spent most of her life in Los Angeles and New York City and coming from a show business family, Antonia Bennett was surrounded by and received praise from such greats as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Gene Kelly, Rosemary Clooney, Les Paul and Ella Fitzgerald, so it was inevitable that she would be infected with a passion for the arts. She later trained and performed at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she was seen in several stage productions.
A recipient of the David Award presented by the "Italo-American National Union" (the oldest Italian-American fraternal organization in America), Antonia is an alumnus of the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her experience and timeless sound make her a presence that captures audiences wherever she performs. Antonia Bennett has performed in opera houses, casinos, jazz clubs and amphitheaters worldwide. Her timeless qualities are reminiscent of the great female jazz vocalists of the twentieth century. According to The New York Times, the truly beautiful voice of Antonia Bennett "conjures echoes of Billie Holiday and Rickie Lee Jones, with a hint of Betty Boop".
