      He’s definitely at the top 5% of the industry
      Having more than one song in the million view range is not easy . And pretty rare more rare than u would think

      Most of the greats aren't and thankfully. Making it in music isnt arena tour anymore. Thats a very exploitative route that dosnt lend to freedom of expression. If you can do music, raise a family, live in an ok part of town, and get to practice your craft, you have made it.

    this is coming sincerely - I really value Benny Sings as a composer and artist. He really enables me to appreciate music and not treating it as simply a commodity

    Only found him accidently on Spotify, He comes across as very down to earth in this interview. I like the laid back feel of his music. Some of his tracks have a niceeasy flowing, 1970's vibe to them (especially thinking of "Nobody's Fault" and "Sunny Afternoon") which really I like. Still to listen to the rest fo his work.
