Are you ever watching TikToks with your friend when a really good song pops up and all of a sudden you find yourself exiting the app and adding the song to your playlist? Well, that’s exactly what happened when thousands of people heard upcoming star Benson Boone’s new song “Beautiful Things.”

Benson Boone is an American Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist and at just 21 has released more than 10 songs with two going viral. Two of the most commonly known songs would be, “In The Stars” and “Beautiful Things”. But what does the world really know about the up-and-coming star?

For starters, Benson, born on June 5 2002 is originally from Washington and had a really unique introduction to his talent. Boone first discovered his talent on a school stage when he took part in his school’s battle of the band his junior year. This capitulated Boone to follow his talent starting with posting covers on a social media site, Tiktok. Later on at just 18, he can be seen auditioning for season 19 of the American Idol. In late 2022 Boone released his first EP called “Walk Me Home ” which contained the song “Ghost Town” which later charted on the Billboard Top 100.

As time goes on Boone’s talent continues to grow and so does his audience with already having 4.4 million followers on TikTok and growing more and more each day. To sum it all up Benson Boone is an incredibly talented young man and don’t be surprised when you see him take the music industry by storm!
