Summary
When Lenise Bent entered the L.A. audio engineering scene in the late ‘70s, she didn’t mind that it was primarily a male dominated industry. Through a chance meeting with Leon Russell at his home studio, she was swept away with the studio atmosphere, the sound, and it was her curiosity about the recording console and gear that captured her spirit and sent her down the path of becoming a recording engineer. She was determined to work with the best equipment, the best studios, and the best musicians. And she did. She’s credited on some of the best sounding albums that were ever recorded, including Steely Dan’s “Aja”, Supertramp’s “Breakfast In America”, Marc Jordan’s “Mannequin”, Blondie's “Autoamerican”, and “Tusk” by Fleetwood Mac, just to name a few.
