Ben Jee
Songwriter. Composer.
Ido “Benji” Ben Efraim, comes from a Hip-Hop background with previous releases in the past as “Ben Jee.” His childhood involved relocating a lot with his family moving from country to country-from Nicosia, Cyprus, to growing up most of his life in São Paulo, Brazil. Benji changed schools many times, leading to a more introverted life.
The more time he spent alone, the more music he heard to help understand his feelings. This road led him to writing lyrics and singing as a way to express himself, pass time, or cope with mental distress. Influenced by various genres from pop-punk to post-core, trip hop, and hip hop, Benji cites artists like Blink-182, Muse, Kid Cudi, and Frank Ocean as key inspirations for shaping his words and vocals.
Today, Benji is based in São Paulo and blends his style of alternative with modern as the singer/songwriter and ½ of Coruja Blu.
