Previously known for his impressive guitar work and touring experience with acclaimed artists such as King Mala (opening for Remi Wolf, Upsahl, Hippo Campus, and Still Woozy), Jelani, Sam Austins, and Maize, to name a few, Benny is now stepping into the spotlight with his own unique sound blending indie rock energy with pop sensibility. With features on Elton John's Rocket Hour, Zane Lowe's radio shows, and a handful of Spotify editorial playlists (Lorem, Anti Pop, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Indie), bennytheghost is quickly gaining recognition for his introspective lyrics and sweet captivating melodies.

His upcoming music releases begin to explore darker, more introspective themes. This transition is marked by a richer, more complex sound palette, blending haunting melodies with poignant lyrics and vocal effects. Influences from artists like Billie Eilish and Gorillaz can be heard in his recent work, as he experiments with atmospheric production and brooding undertones.
Despite the shift in tone, bennytheghost remains committed to authenticity and emotional honesty in his music. His evolving sound reflects his personal growth and the changing landscape of his inner world. Fans old and new are drawn to his ability to balance accessibility with depth, making his music both relatable and thought-provoking.
As bennytheghost continues to refine his sound and push creative boundaries, he stands out as a promising artist in the indie & alt pop scene. His journey from sweet to dark indie pop is a testament to his versatility and dedication to his art, promising an exciting future filled with musical exploration and innovation. His third EP, “Animalism,” produced in collaboration with industry talents like Rob Auerbach and Elie Rizk, is set to showcase his evolution as a multifaceted artist and establish him as a rising star in the indie music scene.
