Singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Ariz. native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour. To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip, and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend.” His May single “Let Me Down Slowly” has earned 48 million Spotify streams to date.
