Robert Benson is the President, chief executive officer and promoter of live events of the American recording label Kalhalla Global Entertainment that is distributed by Sony Music Entertainment fully 100% owned & operated by Benson based out of Beverly Hills, California.
Benson is also one of original founder as leader guitarist and vocalist of the American Power pop band Kalhalla based out of Beverly Hills California founded in 1989 that co pioneered at the age of 13 with co founder at the time drummer Sam Bass extreme metal while in Texas before moving to Seattle during the beginning of the grunge music movement in Seattle in 1991 re branded the brand name and design in 9th grade classroom at Kilo Middle School in Auburn, Washington officially marking the first major marketing decision made by Benson doing away with the 1st name used Metal Death which he believed sounded lyrically limiting and corny in the long term achieving the business goal of the new name sounding larger than life and universal.
His first paid performance anywhere was in 1981 in a building in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York (Rockaway PKWY) as a newly taught break dancer learning agility that would be later used in performance in band in the future was inspired to one day be a star in music after seeing the Michael Jackson “Beat It” video in 1983 who already had interest in one day learning to play electric guitar going on to continue breaking in in 84 and 85 with breaking crew called “The Beast Master Crew" named after the movie ”The Beastmaster" starring Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts and James Amos with Robert dancing under his crew name “Skyfire” taken from the Autobot Jetfire from the popular cartoon and toys in the 80's “Transformers”
In 1985 while Robert while on the military bass Ft. Sam Houston Benson was exposed to Metallica album “Ride The Lightning”, EP & album by Slayer “Haunting the Chapel” & "Hell Awaits" plus the band Venom introducing Benson to wider world of metal music than what was heard prior. The songs “Ride the Lightning” & "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica with “Chemical Warfare” & “ At Dawn They Sleep” by Slayer made Benson a fan of both bands with the newly found genre those was both from called thrash metal.
In 1987 Benson started 3 things that would go on to define what he would be known for the next several decades. At a young age in 5th grade Benson started his own business offering to clean his teachers clothes and fix thier shoes for cash to supply his Now Or Later & Sugar Daddy candy habit and "The Hawg" drink at the Stop N Go corner store. That same year Benson also started being well known in the neighborhood as a popular socialite that had started to be known to throw parties outside home while having girls from upper grades visit inside of the home while watching glam videos on MTV until his parents came home. In the same year he finally started teaching himself guitar mostly going to music stores or friends homes who had guitar.
Finally on Christmas Day 1988 Benson received as a gift his own red Harmony stratocaster style guitar with whammy bar from JC Penny given as a gift from his grandmother on his Mom's side of the family with a pair of percussion instrument Toca Timbales as a gift from his Mom and Dad. The guitar with the whammy bar resembled the guitar David Gilmour played on the music video for the live version of the Pink Floyd song" ‘Comfortably Numb". Benson watched that video and Eric Clapton’s “After Midnight” 1987 version video repeatedly.
Benson who is single not married with no children currently lives in the West L.A area suburb Malibu, California and a 2nd undisclosed location and will be moving in late 2024 to a new home in Beverly Hills suburb with the home surrounded with his 24 hr advance security team and measures with current large special jurisdiction fully armed police force while on the bands world tour in 2024 serving as HQ with the second L.A area mini city Kalhalla Mega World in Kalhalla, California serving as the bands own owned 120,000 capacity AstroTurf upscale venue surrounded by palm trees and base operations that will also include its own airport and FBO fixed base operations executive terminal Robert Benson International Airport with runway for the bands 747 aircraft “ The Chariot” with other 747 cargo aircraft fleet also housing rehearsal space the bands stage and pa and lighting equipment storage space for the bands world tour in 2024 to 2025.
Robert is also to globe trod around the world and the United States to also start his political ambition from 1992 and running for President of the United States in 2028 election with his own Robert Benson Democrats brand in which has already purchased both President Benson and Robert Benson Democrats domain name.
Robert would be the first Generation X president and the first president elected that has been under direct artillery fire in a war since President George H. W. Bush.
Born in 1976 to a military family with his Mom and Dad at The Pentagon, leadership, public service, service to the country and power literally runs in the bloodline in Robert's family. His father was a former U.S. Army military police officer stationed at the Pentagon in Washington D.C. with Robert's Mom, later rose to the ranks of Retired 5th Army Command Sergeant Major which is the highest ranking non commission officer rank in the army while showing early examples of leadership, discipline and dedication with other added positive qualities. Robert's grandfather, another leader in the family, was former president of Chase Bank in Panama.
Robert, who seeks high office in government in the future to help others, has a cousin, Andrew Holness, who has already achieved that status of being the current Prime Minister of Jamaica. Both are related though Robert's grandfather who ran Chase Bank in Panama. Another relative from Robert’s mothers side of the family, Shoshanna Johnson, also served the United States in the Military. Shoshanna is former Iraq War POW. Robert's entire family on both sides is permeated with former Vietnam and Iraq Wars 1 & 2 veterans where discipline and honor are a heavy principle that have been instilled in way of personal conduct.
Due to Robert's mysterious mystique, media contacts are rarely solicited with Robert rarely granting interviews. For someone who has never met Robert in person, his deep authoritative voice over the phone comes off to others that he is a 6 foot, 5 inch 300 professional athlete. It has not been unusual for others to have found Robert to be such a dominating and imposing presence that he has come off intimidating to others, even when he is being nice.
Others have found it scary to discover his background in security, personal protection, military and law enforcement training. Club managers in the 2000's that booked Kalhalla where fearful of Robert due to knowledge that he was a part of the security staff at a night club called Joe's Volcano. Joe’s Volcano had a citywide reputation of bouncers to be reckoned with who routinely dealt with criminals who came to the club harshly. Robert and other bouncers dealt with removal of guns, knives, and experienced being shot at and dealt with occasional “battle royals” that resulted in multiple arrests of patrons. Many of the staff known for their fraternal like camaraderie went on to become personal protection agents and police officers in other law enforcement professions. Robert has directly protected, been a part of, and advise staff of supported security for rappers Tre The Truth, Ice Cube, pop star Boy George, singer Mario and other entertainers. Robert's personal security background is more known for direct protection from tear 1 threats and more dangerous assignments while providing security for events where the Crips and Bloods gangs where known to attend. Robert also provided security to a cartel member where he was compensated $5000 an hour for 5 hours for stationary security only. Due to the increasing level of dangerous assignments and refusal to be entangled with illegal activities such as drug trafficking, Robert refused to do mobile security and focused more on stationary security. Other added security was to provide security for The U.S. Army.
Robert's image landed him a small but brief non speaking appearance in the movie "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For" directed by Robert Rodriguez starring Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Josh Brolin, David Haysbert and Powers Boothe. A role was also offered to Robert to play a bodyguard for Don Johnson of Miami Vices character in the mini-series "Desperado".
A former break dancer who's first payment as an entertainer anywhere was in 1981 in Brooklyn, NY during a fun dance off in a building where Benson was taught his first break movements who would later be inspired by the Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video to be a music star himself someday to teaching himself how to play guitar in 1987 before cofounding the band 2 years later at the end of completing 6th grade. Benson would go on to master the business politics of the music business while maneuvering around scrupulous and shady individuals safe guarding himself through knowledge by heavily studying the music business and the history of how artist where taken advantage of.
As a huge boxing fan with early ambitions to enter boxing but declined knowing both could not be achieved correctly used the principal "protect yourself at all times" that is used till this day never placing himself in compromising situations leaving himself open to scrupulous individuals by never entering into a contract turning over data, ownership or rights to anyone or any company while maintaining the ownership of all content has mastered the politics of the entertainment business.
Despite being a popular entertainer Robert is known to use his mysterious aura by only dealing with top key professionals at the highest level to his advantage in another principal used in his overall strategy in self-preservation in what he calls "strength in secrecy" & "silent submarine".
It is not uncommon for Robert to not do interviews for several years while only concentrating on granting only his time to selected major outlets to properly manage time and proper control of PR while granting some interviews for smaller outlets who gave support in the earliest stages of the bands rise.
The only times Robert appears is to help other talent advance their careers or avoid a major setback that he sees that are inevitable.
Ambition, confidence, use of secrecy to navigate around scrupulous individuals in the entertainment business and extreme dedication to the business goals with extreme work ethic are trademarks of Robert's personality.
Confidence was often displayed in his Babe Ruth like calls in front of live audiences from the earliest years promising the band would perform in stadiums and be the biggest and richest band in the world while maintain ownership of content and music be distributed with a major label which so far in by 2017 brought 3 of the 4 career goals achieved with the last one remaining being the largest music selling band.
Extreme work ethic shown from his days working hours in 120 to 130 degree heat on airport tarmacs 6 days a week average, driving on I-5 from FT. Lewis to SeaTac International Airport to his job at ASI (Aircraft Service International) with the large responsibly at a young age with being responsible for Asiana Airlines 747-400 flights and other airlines prepared him for the much longer road dog trips touring for the band while driving longer distance to work on I-35 90 miles each way to Austin working at Bergstrom International to handle South West Airlines which conditioned him to be a certified "road dog" known to take long road trips for touring with the band or business trips. It was not uncommon for Robert to stay up with no sleep from Friday till Monday driving nonstop across the country to perform in Florida in the early 2000's. Working his first job selling newspapers in the summer heat at $4.25 cents an hour to digging a ditch in blue collar jobs in the hot heat for extra money in the late 90's to rising in the white collar profession in sales for home loans as the largest seller for the company prepared the current executive for the work schedule held today conducting business for the record label and concert promotion branch by any means necessary to stay focused around the clock operating 24 hours a day 7 days a week going to starting his day late at night technically going to sleep after dealing all night with international business calls before "trying to go to sleep" between 7am to 9am while still answering or making business calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Respected by other musicians that knew him personally or has witnessed his rise as a musician's musician who came from the bottom up with his first amp being a Panasonic 8 track and cassette home player lined with an adapter before having a real first amp came up from his own finances without any access to outside financiers rose from the very bottom to the heights as a powerful entertainment executive despite the major internal and external headwinds that guarantee failure of most performing artist to overcoming all obstacles while maintaining ownership of all content rights became a added inspiration to all other musicians.
Robert's business power partnerships and networks are mostly with Japan, Nigeria, Britain and China dealing directly with governments and companies. Oversees and domestically Robert is a respected entertainment business executive and entertainer for his talents and considered classy etiquette. Robert's experience in logistics at 19 years old in aviation passing FBI screening with his biggest responsibility assigned to Asiana Airlines and as a ramp agent for Delta Airlines, participating in Roving Sands 1997 global security combat training exercise training for mayhem to military and law enforcement training combined with investigations experience prepared Robert to be one of the most experienced and prepared live event managers and sitting entertainment business executives in the entertainment business that is heavily credited to his advance executive powers that is needed to adapt and overcome the modern day issues that troubles other entertainment executives and musicians such as piracy and live event security. Being the President, CEO and Promoter of Live Events for Kalhalla Global Entertainment Robert's full title is known as Marshal Robert Benson as the top law enforcement officer of Kalhalla Special Jurisdiction Police/KGI, SD and the commander-in-chief of Kalhalla Delta Special Forces Militia PM Unit and AUX units in New York City over 64,000 on call, 12,000 Los Angeles with other cities as examples which have been prepaid in advance to assemble to provide heavy cover for safe concerts. Robert's advanced executive powers enables him to be the only entertainment executive with the assistance of Kalhalla Special Jurisdiction Police, Kalhalla Delta & AUX can by force directly capture and hand over to the hosting countries Aux Police Unit dangerous organized crime figures oversees who engage in physical piracy of product if need be as entitled "executive option'' as backup plan despite regulated through marketing to prevent such a necessity.
Robert with the entire team through proper use of force can directly transport and jail the violators of the crimes in China. Robert is also the only entertainment executive that directly enforces federal law who can arrest and hand over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals for transport other entertainment or tech field business professionals that commit selected federal crimes such as piracy, wiretapping, conspiracy against rights, receiving money from proceeds of a crime of extortion and threats, extortion, blackmail, Hobbs Act and Rico Act Racketeer Influence & Corruption felony violations by collecting conclusive evidence through proper legal and full investigation to to a federal judge and issue a warrant out for their arrest or recommendations with evidence to charge the suspect of the crime to the U.S. Attorneys Offices and or send criminal referrals in the jurisdictions on which the crimes were committed.
Outside of the music business Robert dedicates his time to public service though his own organizations and volunteering helping political campaigns of left wing candidates that included former President Obama, Minnesota Senator Al Franken, and the Wendy Davis campaign before departing due to knowledge of lack of key messaging, mismanagement and lack of outreach to white working class voters. Robert has offered help mobilizing voters to pass campaigns of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Randy Bryce and any other progressive candidates. The only Republican that Robert has directly volunteered to assist a campaign was Judge Bill C. White since he met personally on a regular basis in his general aviation days in the late 90's where White was respectful and courteous every time they both spoke after Judge White who is a pilot would park his plane after flight. Robert's own organization covers bringing added jobs to black community nationwide, helping to drive down crime nationally in every community while in the fall of 2019 provided national leadership with his nationwide solution to make the entire black community and all law enforcement officers safer with his plan "Social Order 2023" that is the bridge to fix the divisions and provides tactical solutions to the while raising moral of all officers of all races, political beliefs and jurisdictions raising officer moral and pay, hiring more black officers to serve and reflect communities in which departments serve in his effort to preserve national security. One of the unknown major passions even to Robert's friends has been the national security of the United States and the safety of all of it's citizens. There is a bill to be presented to congress called "The Benson Bill" as a first step to best counter the ongoing crisis of mass shootings by presenting tax breaks and mandatory measures to all business, large "soft targets" or individuals to directly hire only FBI screened fully trained full time only under cover floaters to intercept immediately a mass shooter in any soft target spot areas. Robert for the last several years has been discreetly performing direct undercover investigations of employment discrimination, trade employer investigations and crime investigations to best understand and provide the correct solutions for his economic plans to bring mass employment and nationalize "Legit Conversion" to convert criminal vice to sell legal products to directly guide of the life of crime. Robert with the help of his friend Freeway Rick Ross partnered together to promote both of their plans to help others get out of the life of crime as a public service. Attracted to difficult challenges another life goal is to partner with an unnamed former Israeli soldier and make to the goal to end the ongoing conflict in the Middle East within the next 10 years providing peace and stability to the entire region.

Political Views: "Hard Left Push Up Economics" supports the full civil rights with economic advancement for all racil groups with fair and equal pay for women, triple the pay with additional manpower for all military branches and police officers from federal to local level.
As a experienced professional proposes a flat tax deduction to all businesses that directly hire trained F.B.I vetted "undercover floater security" to counter the mass shooting issue instead of gun legislation due to the issue being what is called by other trained professionals such as myself consider "a soft target issue."
As a former blue collar worker and for who's directly investigated the issue. The current immigration issue is bad for working class Americans and makes especially white male, black male and Asian males lack fair access to entry level jobs and is not good economically for Americans. Several American companies can be sued for illegal racial discrimination against white males, black males and Asian women & males. It's long overdue for Attorney General action against companies especially in the construction and restaurant fields who are also exploiting and bulling these seekers as slave labor.
I stand against “passive aggressive ” hostile provocative miltary or economic gestures against Russia and China epecially by “our” United States politicians that I voted for which I preferred no such actions.
I'm aginst invading other nations without a confirmed threat wasting our tax payer dollars, abuse of the social safety net and any form of corruption at any level of government and aginst ecnomic coloniaism comoflouged as democracy aginst all Latin Ameican, Afrcan continent nations and Middle Eastern Nations.
I am to travel and support internationally Lula da Silva, (Brazil), My brother Julius Malema of the EFF (South Africa) Evo Morales political successor Luis Arce (Bolivia) , Nicolas Maduro (Venezuela) Closing of Afrcomm, Ending all economic sanctions against all nations especially Cuba, Zimbabwe, Russia and Iran while supporting helping ending the conflict of Russia and Ukraine caused by providing Russia for over 30 years bringing NATO nations closer to Russia surrounding Russia hostility around the black sea. I support bring back the NATO boarder to 1991 agreements not passing east Germany and having all of Europe especially Germany re continue to receive Russian oil which is over 40% of European economy to end the “special military operation” in Ukraine by Russia while saving Europe's economy.
“I'm against GENOCIDE by the apartied Israeli government against the Palestinians PERIOD. ANYONE who denies that is bias and delusional”
-Robert
As far as China, I believe Taiwan is part of China like our politicians have in the past for over 40 years and our government needs to stop the military and economic provocation against that nation that spawns from racism and economic envy against the Chinese with a colonial and outdated cold war mentality and insecurity of capitalism here at home with homeless people on the street while we give money to war projects.
"It's best we peacefully recognize China as a global partner in advancing each others economy while understanding there is friendly competition that can inspire both nations to bring out the greatness in each nation and its citizens. We should use our militay forces of both nations to come of with technlogy to save the world such as against a meteor that can destroy all of us as humans".
-Robert
I of course support my cousin in Jamaica Andrew Holness.
Domestically as a leftist I'm pro gun for home homeowners to protect themselves especially from home invasions and car jackings, due to my “trained experience” and fair cultural respect for others who grew up pro gun.
“In L.A. you need to carry that ”hammer" on you"
-Robert
I support federal decriminalization of certain misdemeanors. The public is not aware of something called “Wasting Police Time”.
My signature belief domesticlly is the need for minimum guaranteed income. Most people need cash right now in their hands and not just only tax return season. A minimum $2,000 a month for at least 4 years across all state economies the same to be fair so Americans can get on their feet.

1.
Pioneered Extreme Metal While In The Texas State
Before Living In Seattle. (1989)
The self taught 13 year old Chicago blues style shredder guitarist Robert Benson coming out of 6th grade about to go into 7th grade with the 14 year old drummer Sam Bass coming out of 7th grade about to go into 8th grade pioneered extreme metal music leading in a new hyper masculine sound and style creating their combination of extreme aggression and darkness while in Texas before moving to to Seattle.l that combined fast double bass drums.
Kalhalla at that year known as Metal Death in 1989 was the first band to pioneer and play extreme metal style in that Texas regional area. The band was faster darker and heavier than the heaviest band from that region at the time named Devastation.
The 3 distinct style and sounds that solidified that was pioneered and symbolized the music stylistically was Roberts trademark aggression in lion like growls and yells on vocals, with double time fast guitar picking low down tuning the guitar for entire catalog of their songs in C sharp at a time when virtually every genre of music including metal music was in E sharp or E flat in the 80's. Even most of the new at the time Florida death metal scene bands where mostly tuned to E flat.
2. One of the First Supporters of Female Rock bands
Personality Supporting Riot Grrrl Bands & Movement In Seattle Metro Area In The Mid 90's (1993)
In 1993 just moved from Federal Way to South of Tacoma area Robert ran into young female band members at music store in South Tacoma Way while shopping for added guitar and amp equipment was informed by the also young musicians of the movement and street mags while supporting the same political beliefs in the right to choose and equal rights for women.
Robert already aware of discrimination against women in music in general and being a fan of JoanJett and Madonna was still taken back by being informed by his peers that they where physically bullied.

Note: Needed to buy this book despite I not agreeing with stop-and-frisk since it's a bad and racist policy while counter productive from a tactical stand point to reduce crime which works against creating much needed allies in the communities by harassing the innocent in public in which law enforcement serves to maintain public safety which in turn added understandably opposers instead of much needed supporters.
This book is without question is a white supremacist doctrine that has long been undermining proper policing.

Favorite Sports:
I don't like watching sports a lot to be honest I'd rather spend time and talk to my special someone at that time and I rather play it over watch it. I like to play football and volleyball but If I had to choose I love boxing because anything can happen in a short time frame.
BIG fan of the LFL and would like to attend games in the future.

Future Ambitions:
Short term goal is to have a another new home in Beverly Hills and to decorate the home with cultural gifts I collect from around the world from our 2024 tour and future tours to add to the home. Continue playing to large crowds in stadiums or our own venues around the world. We played to over 500,000, 40,000 to 80,000 people in each major city in the U.S. already on special events. Now we built the following so we build our wealth even higher.
I seek a goal for Kalhalla to receive diamond award of 10 million copies sold in the U.S.and defy the current state of sales with a number of Kalhalla releases. I promise that we will.
As for a grammy I doubt we will ever win one due to business politics even though this release is artistically good enough of winning one however sales are more under our control exposure wise so we well get there one day. It depends how I feel 10 years from now what will go on with it.
I will always do music and never leave Kalhalla ever so I will mention I will NEVER happen.
As far as family and future kids I look to having some while taking care of their mother fully economiclly while nurturing any child of ours while passing down generrational wealth when that time comes hopefully several decades from now and not too soon. This is a area I have always navigated correctly since I have always respected the gravity of it.
There are 4 business concepts in the table with my new friend and business partner James making moves while living the life. 2024 added business projects wise is a go.
I prefer to continue to have a good relationship with all of my family on both sides and have them ride coat tails and benefit from my wealth. I owe a lot to both my Mom and Dad because I owe any good traits to them and letting them know it does not go unnoticed. I always make sure they are ok by checking up on them.
Other goals out side the band are there. Continue acting in more films in future and for sure seek voice acting work for fun as well. Seeking to become a multi billionaire off the Kalhalla brands despite it being worth over $4 billion now. Another goal is to enter public office in 2028
I do appreciate the respect, help and partnership with Africa and the over $700 million economic exchange partnership with my cousin Prime Minister Holness nation Jamaica to benefit both their nations so in turn I look forward to working the large partnership between our people and nations.
I thought of running for Los Angeles County Sheriff at one time few years ago before running for President of The United States in the future, but I have seen I'm needed for sure without a doubt way sooner than I expected to bring forth real economic advancement for all bringing in the economic revolution with, preservation, stability and safety for the country so I'm going to run in 2028 in the next election.
I seek to bring more peace and prosperity to the world.
