Ben Alessi
Real name: Ben Anthony Alessi
NYC-based recording artist, producer and songwriter Ben Alessi explores the boundaries of electronica with heavily textured melodies and pop arrangements, frequently spiced with world flavors. He is a true representation of today’s sonics, blending his off-kilter tunefulness with a multitude of other artists’ style and sound. Ben’s writing and the productions he has created for others have been dropping globally, charting on the virals and even landing on many foreign national radio stations.His co-writes include the likes of REO, Penguin Prison, Baker Grace, and Corey Chorus. He has also written or recorded tracks for Republic, Dim Mak, Universal and Armada Records. Recently, he has written singles for Krane ft. Ahsha, Mossel ft. Jeffrey Miller, Kav Verhouzer and his collaboration with Not For US (“Remember”) reached #3 in the Viral Chart in Italy. His 2016 collaboration with Kuren (“Home”) reached #2 in the Australian iTunes Electronic Chart.
But, apart from this success, Ben has also been flying high as a solo artist. As Ben marches through 2017 dropping singles “Only” and “Lose It” and finally his EP PRSSR, he has drawn press, listeners, and followers alike, with certain streams now hitting the millions, and Ben got to perform his first two festivals, Billboard Hot 100 Fest and Live At Heart (Sweden). Ben’s sound has been gobbling up new listeners, from blogs to Spotify. And, according to Deli Magazine, one should expect those listeners to grow, fast, …his sound, mixing soulful vocals, euphoric hooks and groovy beats, is tailor-made for people looking for that elusive, heart-pumping mix of joy and sadness that only seems to surface when big music, like his, is performed to big crowds.
