ABOUT ZACH BENSON

Zach Benson (Richmond, VA) is a pop star. Taking sonic inspiration from indie-pop acts like The 1975 and Troye Sivan, Zach began producing bright, sweet-as-candy tracks in his college apartment in 2017, posting them online for friends and family & performing at local spots around Virginia.

A lot has happened since then. He’s amassed more than 5.5 million global streams and 65k online followers. He’s released two albums (2020’s hopeless, romantic. and 2024’s music for you and your friends) and a handful of EPs and singles. He’s toured up-and-down the east coast & beyond with his band. He’s collaborated with acts like ZEE MACHINE, Gregory Dillon and pulses., opened for Isaac Dunbar, VINCINT, and grandson, & been spotlighted by AT&T, Grindr, Paper Magazine, and RVA Mag. He’s gone mega-viral on TikTok singing to his cat. And he’s gearing up to push it even further in 2026.

Zach’s most recent release is “music for you and your friends”, a 10-track record that features his catchiest, grooviest, and most vulnerable tunes to date. Queerty praises the album’s “dazzling songwriting and nostalgic sensibilities,” and lets readers know that Zach Benson is an artist to watch. After a sold-out vinyl pressing, Zach has released “more music for you and your friends” on CD and digital this year, featuring remixes & collaborations from Palmyra’s Sasha Landon and NYC pop artist Maddy Marz.
