Career
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Bent was raised throughout Canada in a military family. He formally launched his musical career in 2000. His debut album, Blam!, was released on MapleMusic Recordings in 2005, and was marked by a style that incorporated country, rock and hip hop influences, in a manner similar to Buck 65.
The album was produced by Chinese Injeti, formerly of the Rhythm & Blues band Bass is Base.
Described by Bent as "hick hop", the album was best known for the single "Suicidewinder". His subsequent albums, 2007"s Buckles and Boots and 2010"s Rabbit on My Wheel, pursued a more conventional country sound.
