Benda was born in Skalsko.[4][5] He was a student of Bohuslav Matěj Černohorský. In 1726 he became an organist at the Michaelskirche in Prague[6][7][8] (succeeding Šimon Brixi). His works, not published during his lifetime, demonstrate his profound knowledge in counterpoint.[9][10] They include a requiem mass,[11] organ masses, two oratorios, and other church music.

Benda's students included Josef Mysliveček and Josef Seger.

He died in Prague in 1768.[12]
