Benson Boone is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalis from Monroe, Washington. He first discovered his ability to sing after taking part with his friend in his high school’s battle of the band his junior year.
Boone began his career after posting covers on TikTok. In early 2021, he auditioned for season 19 of American Idol after just one year of singing and won a golden ticket to Hollywood, but decided to step down at the last minute. His involvement in American Idol helped the young singer kickstart his career and cultivate a massive fan base on social media, accumulating millions of followers in a relatively short period of time.
In late July 2022, Boone released his first EP, Walk Me Home… which contained his debut single, Ghost Town that charted in 13 countries including the Billboard Hot 100 and viral hit, In The Stars.
