All Things New Music: Bennett

Thanks so much for having me!

Thank you very much! So I’m releasing a new song called “Boy into a King”. I wrote about this about really being at rock bottom and suddenly you have someone who makes you find your potential as well as reach it. It originated as a love song, but I think it can really pertain to any sort of relationship. It describes me as this boy who eventually found his power and became the king of his empire. It’s based on my downfall to my uprising. I think it’s some of my best work, to be honest. I really worked hard to get my vocals on point and the overall mixing/mastering I really took my time to get perfect. It’s a nice r&b track that I think will resonate with a lot of people who are going through the same type of growth while having someone special by their side.

My biggest cheerleader would be my best friend Hazel. She has pushed me to be the best version of myself. A few years ago I was really struggling in life and although I was making music, I wasn’t at all reaching my full potential. I had very minimal drive to really take my career seriously because I was struggling with my mental health. Then Hazel came into my life and she saw something in me I had yet to discover myself. Through a lot of talking and rooting for me, I finally saw what she had seen in me all along. Ever since then, my life hasn’t just changed for the better, but I wake up every day grateful that I have someone as wonderful and tenacious as she is in my life. I feel motivated every day to push myself with my music because of her.

I would say uplifting, warmhearted, and boundless.

I stay focused on my goals and I try not to let the outside world, which is quite hectic at the moment, influence my decisions. That definitely helps keep the peace within me. The world is changing at a rapid rate and we are all changing alongside that, so if I can just keep my eye on the prize and the task at hand, it really helps to keep me balanced too. I know what I want in life and having gone through so much at an early age, I leave no room for distractions that could throw me off course. It is difficult at times to stay in that mindset, but I know the alternative reality I could be living, and that struggle isn’t worth losing sight of what I’m trying to do. That’s how I keep peace and balance.

Absolutely! So besides “Boy into a King”, which is out now, I had mentioned my new song and video that came to me in a dream. It’s called “Lightning” and I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud of my music. The song comes out May 14th and the music video drops May 21st. It’s a fun uptempo pop/r&b song and I think people are not going to only love the song, but the video itself is really cool. I shot it, designed the set, and edited it myself as well. I’m really happy with it and I think people are going to enjoy it. There are multiple layers of harmonies, which is my favorite thing to do and I haven’t done much of that In my music. I always wanted to implement that into my songs so I’m really looking forward to people hearing the song and seeing the visual for it too.

People can find me on www.imbennettmusic.com which is my website. Or on social media. My Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter are all under ImBennettMusic.
