“It was an unexpected event that led me to begin my musical career.
I don’t know what exactly happened in my head, but my voice came out like it had always been there,” the musician recalls. We were the last band to perform, the pressure was on and my whole entire school was watching me. When it came time for our real performance, it was like a movie. “We only practiced three times, and in those practices, I didn’t feel super confident, but my voice was sounding alright. At the time, Benson only played the piano, but his friend convinced him to sing as well. Prior to his debut on the music scene, Benson referred to himself as a “big sports guy.” During his senior year of high school, he and a friend formed a band for their annual “Battle of the Bands” competition. Along with the song, Benson released the “Ghost Town” music video, which he calls “an expression of my personality and childhood.”
