Uncommon charisma, creativity, and talent are the makings of singer/songwriter Benjamin-E. A native of Houston, Texas, Benjamin-E began fostering his musical talents at the age of seven by becoming a part of his church's choir. Cliche? Not quite...
The unique twist in Benjamin's start is that on his first night of rehearsal with the choir, he left as the soloist. This inimitable drive, self-belief, and fearlessness helped Benjamin-E not just succeed, but also exceed all through his grade school musical endeavors. He became a Drum Major in his high school band and section leader of the choir, all crucial stepping-stones along the path of his passion for performance. Oddly enough, he began writing songs out of necessity rather than pure inspiration; after graduating high school he simply didn't know how or where to acquire songs.
After recording countless demos and performing in several talent shows, contests, and events, one of his songs earned him a job as a writer at major recording studio. Following nearly a year of writing for others, Benjamin-E left the studio in order to carve out his own path. In 2009, he scored a publishing deal with DaBet Music based in Los Angeles, CA, and in the fall of 2010 they released 2 mixes of his debut single, "If You're Fly". Benjamin-E is currently working on his upcoming debut EP, scheduled for a spring 2011 release.
