Benjamin HIGHTOWER

Benjamin is a NYC-based singer-songwriter & performer.

After leaving the military in 2023, he settled in Brooklyn, where he began to craft his unique sound. His music delves into themes of religious deconstruction and identity, reflecting his personal experiences and growth. Drawing inspiration from artists like Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds, and Cody Fry, Benjamin's songs blend earnest lyrics with melodic storytelling, inviting listeners to explore the complexities of life and religion. Benjamin was a semi-finalist on America's Got Talent Season 12 and has performed the national anthem at Madison Square Garden, as well as various events and venues around the city such as PAC-NYC and 33 West.
