Bio

Benjamin Franklin?

After hearing his name, most people respond with a giggle and wait on him to reveal his real identity. Amused, they sit around only to find out that the name is indeed real and receive the pleasure of discovering that there’s even more to interest about this charming, charismatic guy.

Benjamin was born in Houston, TX and grew up with a big imagination and HUGE dreams. When he was a child, Benjamin would stay indoors creating musicals with his collection of happy meal toy characters and drawing fanciful blueprints for his idealistic amusement park instead of going outside and playing kickball with the “normal” kids.

See, Benjamin was definitely not normal….and he realized this at a very early age.

At the age of seven, his parents enrolled him into piano lessons as an outlet to his never-ending creative mind. Although piano turned out not to be his niche, his instructor happened to be the director of his church’s children choir, which he was very interested in, but wasn’t quite sure if singing was something he actually could do. After talking with his father about his interest in the choir, Benjamin finally asked his surprised instructor if he could join. A couple of days later, he attended his first rehearsal and left that same night with his first solo.

He performed that solo on Mother’s Day to a five hundred plus member congregation, leaving them on their feet, and coming to the realization that he wanted to become a world-class singer and entertainer.

Thereafter, he got involved in anything related to music. He joined his elementary and high school choirs, his middle school and high school bands (where in high school he became head Drum Major), and was accepted into the prestigious Fort Bend Boys Choir of Texas. By his senior year of high school, Benjamin finally decided it was time to seriously pursue his dream of becoming a singer. Realizing he was exceptionally gifted, he felt he could finally make his life-long aspiration a reality.

He began doing talent shows and going to auditions around the Houston area, then about a year later, recording demo projects and booking shows performing for large crowds, sometimes in the thousands, and also finding himself opening for the Houston breed rapper Mike Jones.

With his matchless blend of R&B, pop, and hip-hop and his sincere, straightforward lyrics, this singer/songwriter is determined to let the world hear what he has to sing about. And with his massive amount of creativity, drive, and determination, in due time, they will.
