a bit about me
Hi, I’m Benjamin. A hip hop artist born in Denver, Colorado who now lives in Tel Aviv, Israel.
I create honest music that tells personal stories and encourages a positive mindset. My live sets feature an eclectic mix of romantic hip-hop ballads, 808’s and trap drums, catchy melodies, improvised freestyles, and constant audience engagement while diving into the messages behind the music. I’ve performed countless times for various audience sizes (as small as 2 as big as 2000), and I’m ready for any experience that involves a mic. I am currently booking shows centered around my three most recent albums “PRANA”, “COLORADO BOY” and “BURIED TREASURE” (all released in 2022).

“PRANA”, august 2022
a yoga-themed concept album that explores what it means to truly live in the now
“Work around the clock, cause I got to pay my dues, but I never say my job when you ask me what I do” - Track Five: “Time / Nuweiba”
“Colorado Boy”, february 2022
a nostalgic exploration of my past, with a heavy focus on personal transformation
“Got one life, so better go live it”
“On the Way”, july 2020
you never end up where you think you are going, a coming of age hip-hop story

my show
for me, it’s always important to truly create a “show” and not just to aimlessly run through my songs. i’m always focused on audience engagement, and giving context to my set. my shows include tracks from my last three albums, improvised freestyles, and stories behind the tracks - making it a true experience.
I’ve performed at various venues with a wide range of audiences and I’m always eager to connect with new crowds in new ways.
my show can be easily adapted per venue and can be performed from as simple as a mic and aux chord, to a DJ, or with live instrumentation. contact me and we can decide what makes the most sense for your venue
