Born in 1994 in Arizona, Benjamin hustled to get in front of an audience, busking in parking lots outside of concerts and doling out business cards to help people remember him. Benjamin’s openness, honesty, and vulnerability make the singer/songwriter’s particular brand of earnest, mellow pop music special. He went on to say that she’s the subject of his 2020 single “Demons,” a melancholy but lively track about someone who’s been a lifeline during the singer’s dark times. “Every 10-15 songs she’ll be like, ‘That’s a great song.’ And I’ll be like, ‘Alright, I can use this song.’ But if it doesn’t get the mom stamp of approval, then I can’t put it out.” So far, Benjamin’s mom hasn’t led him astray. “I’ll be like, ‘Mom-is it good or is it great?',” pop singer Alec Benjamin tells Apple Music about his process for deciding whether a song will make the cut.
