Next show: New York City, Fri 30 Oct
A queer, homegrown pop artist.
Benji Harless is an emerging queer singer-songwriter from New York City by way of Cincinnati, Ohio. While in Ohio their talents were nourished while performing in various musical productions throughout the Greater Cincinnati region and discovering a true passion for being on the stage. This lead to them pursuing a Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree from The New School for Drama (inagural class of 2017) in New York's Greenwich Village. While livnig in New York, Harless first got the inspiration and life experience to write "Low Life in High Heels / Girl on Bowery" their modern day take on Lou Reed's own Warholian experience "Walk on the Wild Side". Benji Harless has just released their follow up single "Ride or Die" a slight departure in style from their earlier tracks with an electropop infused hook and lyrics reflecting a couple against the odds on a high speed chase of love and ecstasy. Influences: Blondie, Dusty Springfield, Christina Aguilera, Tina Turner, Etta James Other Favorites: Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Aaliyah, TLC, Amy Winehouse, Ivy Levan http://www.benjiharless.com
