Benny Sings

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Benny Sings began making hip-hop beats and at some point just started singing to them. His debut album 'Champagne People' was released in the Netherlands in June 2003 on Dox Records. The songs on this album were catchy yet fragile pop songs. The critics too were charmed by the transparent quality of his songs that expressed a classic but contemporary desire for love, peace and understanding. To promote the album Benny formed a jazz combo with a horn section and toured the Dutch venues and festivals such as Lowlands, Noorderslag and Uitmarkt. He won the Dutch Essent Award (an award meant to stimulate young, talented musicians) and in the mean time the album was released in Belgium and worldwide on vinyl (by Rush hour/Kindred Spirits).
