Daniel Benyamin is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. For more than two decades he has moved between indie, folk, wave and electronic music – always looking for new sound colors. He first became known as a solo artist, later with the duo SEA + AIR and the band Jumbo Jet. More than 2,000 concerts in 35 countries have shaped his musical path.

With his current solo project, Daniel Benyamin returns to his roots and combines organic instruments with analog synthesizers, melancholy songs with powerful rhythms and cinematic soundscapes. He describes this very own style as “ghost pop” – music that defies stylistic boundaries and focuses on one thing above all: strong songs with character.
