About

Alec Benjamin in Concert

Alec Benjamin simply refers to himself as a "narrator."

Inspired by Eminem, Paul Simon, and Citizen Cope, the Phoenix-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter fashioned a cinematic, lo-fi sound that stirred up a buzz online right out of the gate, landing him a major label deal by the age of 18. A day after he turned in his first album, he was dropped by the label he thought would take his artist project to the moon. However, it was going to take a lot more to stop him. Alec immediately hit the road for a self-booked European tour in May 2016. He performed "parking lot shows" for fans outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts, handing out business cards to leave a tangible keepsake for those listening and building his brand from the ground up. 

Shortly after the tour, he jumped in the studio with Jon Bellion and ended up earning a co write on the pop star's debut album, "New York Soul (Part II). This session would also open the door for Alec to join Bellion on tour directly after. With an insatiable urge to rise to the top, the tenacious prodigy found himself back performing in parking when he wasn't on-stage opening for Bellion. Knowing that some of those fans would search for him after the performances, Alec made it his mission to consistently uploaded one new song every two weeks to his YouTube channel and build a catalog his fans could listen to. Within the span of six months, he logged over 165 shows and amassed 150K YouTube subscribers simply through perseverance and a D.I.Y. attitude. 

Alec managed to hit even bigger strides in 2017 when his viral hit "I Built A Friend" ignited online, clocking nearly four million Spotify streams in under a year and earning airplay for millions of Americans on the national TV show, America's Got Talent.

As for 2018, "Let Me Down Slowly" is the first single off Alec's debut album that will herald a new chapter for the extraordinary story teller. Balancing relatable yet mature lyrical content with vitalizing production, he pleads, "Now, I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace, oh please, please, could you find a way to let me down slowly?" atop a sentimental yet powerful drum-guitar ensemble.

While his story is certainly one of a kind, Alec's narrative is only just beginning.

Alec Benjamin has played shows at famous venues such as Arizona Federal Theatre, The Van Buren, and the 9:30 Club.

    I went to his Boston show for the (Un)commentary tour with Claire Rosinkranz & Madeline The Person as openers in September! It was such an awesome show, I went with my best friend and we both enjoyed it so much! Totally wanna go see Claire at her upcoming show, she has such an awesome stage presence and such an amazing voice, she was absolutely great and I can say the exact same for Madeline! Such a great show and I would love to go see Alec again!

    Better than expected

    by LT on 10/22/22Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    Took my 16 and 17 year old to their first concert. They wanted to see Alec. I appreciate his "clean" lyrics and musicianship. It's rare, but he sounds better live than recorded. I ABSOLUTELY loved the concert and so did my daughters. Oh, I sat two seats away from Alec's #1 fan....a girl that looked about 9 and new ALL the lyrics to every song he played. It was wonderful hearing her enjoy herself 😄.

    I was so looking forward to this show

    by TheReader on 10/21/22Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    I was so looking forward to this show. I really enjoy Alec Benjamin’s music. From the opening act to the end of the show, the sound quality was awful. The bass was so loud and deep that it distorted the sound as well as vibrated all the seats. It was so loud that I couldn’t make out most of what Claire was singing and there were times I couldn’t make out what Alex was singing. I was super disappointed that I couldn’t enjoy the show because of the distortion and how it drowned out the words.

    Alec Benjamin concert ( Hollywood Palladium )

    by Natalie on 10/20/22Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood

    Alec was amazing! I loved the set and the lighting. Such a beautiful venue! Even if you were all the way at the back you were able to see everything clearly! This venue has a bag policy so I would recommend checking that before attending the concert. Items such as posters are also not allowed. Overall I had a great time and would recommend attending any of Alec’s concerts!

    by Gunster on 10/19/22Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    Brought most of my kids and it was their first show. They had a blast! Amazing sound, lighting, and one of the best shows I have attended thus far. All of my kids are asking to go back to see more and we will definitely come back.

    Absolutely incredible- I've been following his music for a few years now, and was so happy I got to go to this. It was so high energy, and exciting but not overwhelming- at least not for me. Amaizng

    AWESOME POST COVID EXPERIENCE!!

    by Alicia Tapia on 10/19/22Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    Haven’t been to a concert in 2 years. Seeing Alec in concert was a surreal experience to say the least. I can’t wait to start seeing concerts again and I hope to see Alec again when he plays in PHX— his hometown.

    Dream come true

    by Blair on 10/19/22Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    This concert was the best one I have ever been to. I do have a bias, as Alec Benjamin is my favorite singer in the universe; however, I loved attending his concert for the experience as well as seeing him! When he came on stage I screamed so loud and it was so cool to see so many people from his hometown supporting him and his beautiful music!! Thank you to Ticketmaster for helping attend my number 1 bucket list dream!!!

    Loved it. He was so nice in making sure we were all safe.

    by Jana on 10/19/22Arizona Financial Theatre - Phoenix

    Alec was very kind to the crowed and made sure that the people who needed help got it. He interacted with the crowed and even invited someone onto the stage. He was just very nice over all. He tried to wear a squid hat that someone threw onto the stage but couldn’t fit it on. Alec’s band was also very nice and they we’re probably the most interactive people on the stage.

    Definitely worth it!!

    by A on 10/18/22Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood

    I had the best time going to Alec's concert. I wish I was able to go before but never got the chance until this tour and it was worth the wait. I even got the chance to meet him through vip. I just wish we were allowed to talk to him more and take like 3 photos at least instead of the just one. for those who get vip, I recommend writing a letter before to give him because you won't be allowed to have a lengthy conversation. He's one of the few artists that I've met that was really sweet. He's one of the kindest artist I've gotten to meet so far and he's cute, especially when he smiles. His smile seems really genuine and sincere, so don't be too nervous when meeting him. I wish I knew that beforehand and I might not have been as nervous and awkward lol.

    FUUUN

    by Mish M on 10/18/22Hollywood Palladium - Hollywood

    We LOVE The Palladium!! First we parked so easily in the structure next door-the people working there were extremely friendly and helpful. We walked to a restaurant nearby for a perfect happy hour dinner at Ronnie’s Kitchen and Cocktails…service was great and the food delicious…there was a VERY long line to get into the show, but once it started moving, it went quickly. I just wish I knew that we weren’t allowed to bring purses in! We had to run back to the car to leave our purses, but they let us go to the front of the line when we got back and we were a little worried we wouldn’t get a good spot to stand at for the show (since we just had general admission tix), but we found a perfect elevated spot behind a short wall and next to a conveniently located bar! The show was AMAZING! It was my 10 year old daughter’s first concert and Alec was so fun to watch and sounded great and the flashing lights were very cool. There was just so much we loved about the venue and the show!!!
