Interview: Acclaimed recording artist DJ Bill Bennett drops new album "DILF Part 1"

Today I’m chatting with acclaimed producer and music artist DJ Bill Bennett, who’s set to drop his fantastic new album, "DILF Part 1," on February 14. Bill began his music career in the 1990s as a much-in-demand DJ in Detroit. Then Warner Brothers came calling - and Bill handled DJ duties for part of Madonna’s Drowned World Tour, which spun into official remixes for “Frozen” and “Erotica.” It was only onward and upwards for Bill since then. With "DILF Part 1," Bill delivers deeply human lyrics about his own experiences in love and loss; rich tribal rhythms, soaring vocals, a very relatable perspective as a gay man who’s lived some life, and, of course, top-shelf production. We also chat about his eye-catching, next-level music videos that have attracted a whole new legion of fans.
