Alec Benjamin

I do not know how I have been missing out on Alec Benjamin, and I am very grateful for people like Zach Sang (Radio Personality) who keep their ears open when mine are shut. I was watching some of Sang’s interviews a couple of days ago via YouTube and came across one he did with Benjamin. I was impressed with the tenacity of the 24 year old singer/songwriter from Arizona and was eager to listen to his tunes. After the interview, I pulled him up, pressed play, and listened to every song that he has available on Apple Music. Then, I went to his YouTube page and listened to anything that was not available on Apple Music. While soaking in Benjamin’s music, my mind kept going back to something he said in his interview with Sang about being dropped by a label at some point in his career. I do not know who was in charge of that decision, but it was a mistake (like, they should be fired kind of mistake). Benjamin has an incredibly unique voice, and he uses seemingly small moments plucked from his life to create meaningful songs about love, loss, and grief that give you feelings of youthful innocence.
