1) ..is a local rock band from Semarang, Indonesia
2) ..born and bred in Bishop's Stortford, Herfordshire, Benedict was one of four musical siblings. He first tried the trumpet at age 7, then the piano at age 8 and then began hollering at age 9 in the local choir. Fast forward ten years and Benedict moved to London at the age of 18 to soak up the sights and sounds of the big city. After being tipped by MTV Brand New For 2012 in January as a name to watch out for, Benedict continued work on a musical career that has already experienced some exceptional highlights.
Benedict began working with Twenty First Artists at the tender age of 15, learning the craft of songwriting and collaborating with experienced co-writers and producers including Juan Luis Ayala, Oyvind Aamli and Chris Lawson Jones. After over 2 years locked away in studios across London, Benedict released his first four-track EP 'Glory Days' on Big Label Records in April 2012 featuring just piano, vocals and a string quartet. The release of 'Glory Days' led to some incredible opportunities for Benedict including support slots for Mystery Jets and Karima Francis, collaborations with SBTV (Jamal Edwards simply called him 'dope') and performances at The Royal Albert Hall, Shepherd's Bush Empire and at The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant at Windsor Castle. 2012 also included performances on Channel 4, ITV and BBC Introducing Radio.
After a rollercoaster few months, Benedict went back into the studio to work on his follow-up EP 'Another Way' which was recorded over a week in a church in July, mixed by the producer Dan Weeks in August/September, mastered at the world famous Abbey Road Recording Studios in October and then released in November. Having just released 'Another Way', Benedict has already begun work on his third EP of the series and from the sounds booming from the studio, it suggests the best is yet to come …
