Donny Benét is a Sydney based solo recording artist. He is notable for his anachronistic musical style, borrowing heavily from outdated 80s post-disco sounds but producing and performing the music in a modern context. In 2011, he released his first full length solo album Don't Hold Back through indie label Rice is Nice. Donny was born as the son of Antonio Giacomelli Benet, the famous Italian accordionist who made his name recording popular disco songs of the 1970's.
