J-pop
Raised in Okinawa, Japan and southern California, BENI started pursuing her love of dance, hip hop, jazz, and R&B from a young age, giving her her own unique style and sound. BENI’s combination of dance, R&B and pop alongside her strong yet sensual tone create a pleasantly unique listening experience that has helped her to amass her large following. BENI’s bicultural upbringing inspired the creation of her million copy best selling cover album series’s most recent release “COVERS the city,” in which, she creates a rearrangement of Japanese classics, translating and transforming mega-hits into her very own urban sound. In the summer of 2018, BENI started her promotion for her newest album, “Cinematic”, accompanied by a monthly stream of singles “Chasin’” featuring Japanese rapper IO, from the upcoming hip hop collective Kandytown, ambient progressive R&B “PULLBACK”, “No one else like you” an acoustic duet with international singer-songwriter Michael Kaneko, finally announcing her lead single “LAST LOVE LETTER” prior to the full album release.
