A self-taught musician from Washington state, Benson’s journey is one that reminds us all that with a bit of courage, heart, and soul, anything is possible.
At just 21 years old, Benson has already carved out a space for himself in the global music scene—one where emotions are embraced and authenticity is celebrated. He has a rare ability to make you feel seen through his lyrics, as if he’s singing directly to you.

It wasn’t long ago that Benson auditioned for American Idol, showcasing his gentle voice and natural charisma. From the very beginning, his presence was magnetic, and his talent undeniable.
Though his audition was met with praise and enthusiasm, he soon made the brave and unexpected decision to step away from the competition early on. At first glance, this might have seemed like a missed opportunity. Nevertheless, rather than signaling a setback, this pivotal moment marked the beginning of something far greater. In hindsight, it was a bold move that demonstrated both self-awareness and courage. However, instead of closing a door, this choice ultimately became a powerful turning point in his journey. As time went on, it quickly became clear that this wasn’t the end—but rather, the very beginning of something extraordinary. Instead of following a conventional path, Benson deliberately leaned into the unknown with quiet confidence, a curious heart, and unwavering vision.
