His father was a pianist, and his mother was a singer, which inspired him to pursue a career in music. Benet began his musical journey at a young age, and he showed a natural talent for playing the piano. He started taking piano lessons when he was just six years old and quickly became proficient in playing the instrument. He continued to hone his skills and eventually went on to study at the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona. During his time at the conservatory, Benet was exposed to a wide range of musical styles and genres. He was particularly drawn to classical music and spent countless hours practicing and perfecting his technique.

He quickly gained a reputation as a talented and skilled pianist, and his performances were highly sought after.
