  • Alec Benjamin simply refers to himself as a “narrator.” Inspired by Eminem, Paul Simon and Citizen Cope, the Phoenix-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter fashioned a cinematic, lo-fi sound that stirred up a buzz online right out of the gate, landing him a major label deal by the age of 18. The rising singer-songwriter recently just performed earlier this summer to his biggest audiences to date, opening as a special guest for popstar Camila Cabello in Atlantic City, NJ and Uncasville, CT. Now, the burgeoning live performer has announced a North American headline tour that goes on sale today at alecbenjamin.com/tour. Dates get underway November 8th in Dallas, TX and continue through December 8th in Phoenix, AZ. Benjamin came to BUILD to talk about the tour, his new single, "If We Have Each Other," and more.

    Alec’s social anxiety causes him to ramble but I love it! He is so underrated and so genuine and deserves more recognition for his stories.

      I think @sarah nicole meant that Alec could still grow mentally and emotionally as a person in general not that he would grow physically 😂

    • @uummsarah

    I have social anxiety too and when he talked about him forcing himself to do stuff, I freaked out because I never heard someone having the same struggles as me. My therapist always tells me that it gets better after multiple times, but as he said, it kinda doesn't and I always thought that was my fault.

    • @TheGoreTheorists
      @TheGoreTheorists 3 роки тому +2

      am i the only fucking person with a normal therapist that doesnt just say it gets better and tells me how to make it better-
      yes? oh-

    Alec is the kind of artist that you want to keep in your back pocket so only you have his songs but at the same time want the entire world to know about him cuz he deserves it

    • @blue-1079
      @blue-1079 2 роки тому

      YES I feel that kind of thing all the time, especially with Alec. It's like you want to be the only one to know the songs and be special and want nobody else to know them but also want the person to have appreciation and support from everybody in the universe.
