BENNI

A Belgian singer-songwriter influenced by folk music figures such as Damien Rice, Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers, Benni brings her songs to life in a world that is both utopian and authentic - her own. Benni's journey is rooted in a singular 10-month experience singing and walking the streets of New Zealand. It was here, in the midst of a new creative energy, that the young artist awakened, giving life to stories and emotions that touch the heart.

With her captivating indie-folk sounds, Benni stands out for her atypical voice, capable of transforming sadness into compositions of powerful beauty. At just 23, Benni has already shared the stage with Coeur de Pirate, November Ultra, Sharko and Roscoe. Today she unveils her first single "September 20". This gorgeous ballad is one of those apology letters we wait in vain for, capturing the symbolic moment when love evaporates.
