EDDIE BENJAMIN COVERS WONDERLAND WINTER 2020 ISSUE
“Having a really musically diverse bag
of songs is one of the most important
things to me.”
Growing up surrounded by creativity in
Bondi Beach, singer, songwriter and
producer Eddie Benjamin spent his
younger years mastering every musical
instrument and process he could. After
years of practice, planning, collaborating
with artists such as Labrinth and
connecting with the likes of with Sia,
this year the 18-year-old moved out to
LA full-time to start releasing music of his own.
Citing influences from Stevie Wonder to
Prince, Benjamin is establishing his own
brand of pop infused with jazz and
breezy R&B. Whether he’s layering his
effortlessly angelic vocals over a racing
beat in “Fuck My Friends” or dreamy
production in “Speechless”, his first few
tracks have already demonstrated his
range, both sonically and lyrically, as an
artist. Following the release of his latest
single, “Running Away From Home”, he’s
now preparing to drop his debut EP.
Reflecting on his approach to music,
Benjamin tells us about the early
influences that shaped his sound, the
friends and collaborators he’s worked
with so far, and the personal experiences
that have inspired him to write.
