Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Pop-alt artist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Benedict translates experiences of heartbreak, love, social observation and justice into their melodic artistry. Echoing a sound that falls in-between the lines of Kate Bush and Prince, the singer is soon to send waves worldwide. This Australian born artist eschewed a regular childhood in pursuit of mastering multiple instruments. Benedicts’ journey as a prolific songwriter started at the ripe age of five years old. Deepening their understanding and curiosity for musical paradigms, Benedict cut their teeth on some of the greats. Delving into the artists like Bowie, Joplin, Mercury, MJ and more, these all helped shape the cornerstones of Benedict’s own haunting sirenic vocal stylings and writing. One of their most challenging times was spent on the frontline working as a prison guard. It broke their heart watching, as they named them, “the forgotten people” from an everyday community be let down by the system. As a humanitarian and a person who is passionate about equality and social justice, their desire runs even deeper to be a voice for all who aren’t heard! All communities. All people.These lived experiences translate into their deeply authentic art. Benedict has a nostalgic 80s/90s pop influence through their sound with pulsating melodies and powerhouse vocals. With a recent Rollingstone Aus write up making Benedicts new single 'Wake Up' pick of the year! This is one artist to watch!
