Bent
History:
Born in Los Angeles, Lenise started her career at the early
age of 8 in the Screen Children’s Guild, doing extra work in
the TV and film industry. She already had her first tape recorder
by then which she had begged for and received on her 8th birthday.
Coming from a musical family, singing and performing were a part
of everyday life, with Lenise studying piano and flute and making
her first recording with the Compton Youth Symphony Orchestra at
9 years old. Throughout high school she split her time between seeing
films and live music every chance she got and eventually went on
to study film & TV and radio production at USC & Cal State
Long Beach. As her passion for music began to dominate her life
Lenise shifted her studies to audio engineering at SoundMasters
Recording Institute, one of the only recording schools in existence
at that time. Soon after graduation she started her recording career
as an assistant engineer at The Village Recorders in Los Angeles,
working on several albums including “Aja” by Steely Dan,
“Breakfast in America” by Supertramp and “Tusk”
by Fleetwood Mac. Later she became chief engineer for producer Mike
Chapman recording the platinum selling record “AutoAmerican”
for Blondie plus several of Chapman’s other artists such as
The Knack and Suzi Quatro, recording at a variety of studios which
include The Record Plant, Air London and United Western, which later
became Ocean Way, then Cello, and now EastWest Studios.
