NYC Songwriters on the rise: Loren Benjamin

Picking up where Elton John left off, Loren Benjamin is re-tooling the piano as the melodic lead is was meant to be. From covering ‘Human’ (The Killers) to a huge reception at this year’s CMJ Fest, the 23 year old is set to take off. And you have to respect any man trying to write our generation’s ‘Tiny Dancer.’

Currently recording his debut album under the direction of Grammy award-winning producer Steve Jordan, expect the piano man to come out swinging when he releases his full-length this Spring, and check out his performance last month from Highline Ballroom here. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
