Summary

Wildly talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Eddie Benjamin is a solo artist in his own right — check out his latest single ‘MANIAC’ and his 2023 EP ‘Weatherman’ — but he’s also working behind the scenes (and sometimes on stage, in the case of Shawn Mendes) with everyone from Justin Bieber to Willow, RAYE to Meghan Trainor.

The 23-year-old Byron Bay-born artist joins us in the studio to talk about leaving Australia for LA, moving in with Sia and what it’s like to work in her creative orbit, plus his approach to music and improvisation, and why it’s taken a minute to hone in on his forthcoming debut album. Plus he discusses what he learned from working with Willow on her Grammy nominated LP ‘empathogen,’ and the energetic vibes of working with Mike Sabath, Justin Bieber, and the inspirational force that was and always will be Prince.
