Known for his vulnerable lyricism full of coming-of-age confessions paired with a cinematic, lo-fi sound, the release of his sophomore album (Un)Commentary in April of this year has garnered him further international appeal. With bangers such as ‘Devil Doesn’t Bargain’, ‘The Way You Felt’, ‘Older’, ‘Shadow of Mine’ and ‘Speakers’ – the album quickly generated over 200 million streams combined.
The numbers don’t just stop there – he’s got an impressive resume of over 4 billion global streams and 1 billion YouTube views. He’s had a recent run of sell-out shows across North America and Europe this year and this may be the last time he plays such intimate shows.
Performing in public parking lots at Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan gigs catapulted Alec Benjamin to a global sensation, now boasting 10 million social media followers, 70 million in playlist reach, and over 1 billion YouTube views on his channel. Since then, Alec has gone on to appear nationally across the US on The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he delivered powerful performances.
