Having attended Music Exchange for the last number of years and learning from the best, he feels he has given it his best shot with releasing the album Conqueror.
He has survived trauma and overcome a difficult past of addiction, which is melodically reflected in many songs on the album. Some of these songs include Open Scars, Fighting Temptations and Determination which all express Benson’s personal battles and how he escapes the grip of addiction and navigates through the path of self-discovery.
His ever-changing journey through each new stage of life is processed and delivered through his lyricism and creativity.
We recently chatted...

My family: Michael, Faith, Ruth and Esther Benson.
A weird blend between J.Cole and Lenny Kravitz.
I don’t have a most admired person because I fear I’ll try to be more like that person than an amalgamation of all the great people I know of.
My words.

I don’t care where it is as long as I can perform for more than three million people.
My love, honesty and vulnerability.

When I can afford to, I tend to help give out food (such as soup, or sandwiches etc.) to anyone who can’t afford to buy food.
For my music and lifestyle to live forever.
