Alec Benjamin in Concert
Alec Benjamin simply refers to himself as a "narrator."
Inspired by Eminem, Paul Simon, and Citizen Cope, the Phoenix-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter fashioned a cinematic, lo-fi sound that stirred up a buzz online right out of the gate, landing him a major label deal by the age of 18. A day after he turned in his first album, he was dropped by the label he thought would take his artist project to the moon. However, it was going to take a lot more to stop him. Alec immediately hit the road for a self-booked European tour in May 2016. He performed "parking lot shows" for fans outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts, handing out business cards to leave a tangible keepsake for those listening and building his brand from the ground up.?
Shortly after the tour, he jumped in the studio with Jon Bellion and ended up earning a co write on the pop star's debut album, "New York Soul (Part II). This session would also open the door for Alec to join Bellion on tour directly after. With an insatiable urge to rise to the top, the tenacious prodigy found himself back performing in parking when he wasn't on-stage opening for Bellion. Knowing that some of those fans would search for him after the performances, Alec made it his mission to consistently uploaded one new song every two weeks to his YouTube channel and build a catalog his fans could listen to. Within the span of six months, he logged over 165 shows and amassed 150K YouTube subscribers simply through perseverance and a D.I.Y. attitude.?
Alec managed to hit even bigger strides in 2017 when his viral hit "I Built A Friend" ignited online, clocking nearly four million Spotify streams in under a year and earning airplay for millions of Americans on the national TV show, America's Got Talent.
As for 2018, "Let Me Down Slowly" is the first single off Alec's debut album that will herald a new chapter for the extraordinary story teller. Balancing relatable yet mature lyrical content with vitalizing production, he pleads, "Now, I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace, oh please, please, could you find a way to let me down slowly?" atop a sentimental yet powerful drum-guitar ensemble.
While his story is certainly one of a kind, Alec's narrative is only just beginning.
Alec Benjamin has played shows at famous venues such as Arizona Federal Theatre, The Van Buren, and the 9:30 Club.

I've loved Alec since I found him 8 years ago, and his songs are still just as amazing to me as an adult, I loved getting to see his personality in person and of course hearing him sing his old songs was cool knowing how much he's changed over the years. I will be going again next time I'm near a venue he's at.
Alec was very entertaining and sounded great live! My daughters had the time of their lives and lost their voices from screaming and singing along. Alec even responded to my oldest daughter when she yelled something out to him. It was a night that they will never forget.
The atmosphere was amazing and I loved every second of it! The opening act was also very good! There is absolutely nothing that I could complain about
Alec is a legend. Super talent and my favorite artist for a reason. Absolutely loved hearing him live!
Alec Benjamin is a fantastic artist who brings his music to life in the concert. It is exciting, enjoyable, hype, amazing. His songs and music are unbelievable and it was such a dream and pleasure to go to his concerts!

Alec was great. My review has nothing to do with him or the other artist, it is in regard to the venue. I wait 1hr to get into the venue after arriving 15 mins before showtime. I understand that sometimes there is a wait but I was not expecting to miss the opener due to the venue being unprepared to quickly manage the line. The venue sent no communication about expecting excessive wait times. I saw the same artist at another venue last year and had no wait. Very disappointed and would not recommend the Fillmore.
This was one of the most energetic concerts I’ve been to! The venue is one of my favorites and always is amazing both in staff and concert quality. It was very clean, and everything went smoothly on time!
I loved every detail of Alec Benjamin. His music is already music to my ears, so live was amazing. He’s just a chill guy on that stage. He enjoys his music and interacts with the crowd so well. He definitely made my 4 hour drive to his concert worth it.
