From the heart of Minnesota emerges BENCE — a singer, songwriter, and self-taught pianist with a rare instinct for melody and storytelling. His music lives in the indie pop space but stretches far beyond it, blending tenderness with atmosphere, and crafting songs that feel intimate but expansive. What sets BENCE apart isn’t just the sound — it’s the emotional clarity, the way each track captures something true about growing up, growing apart, or coming into yourself.

Though his discography is still unfolding, BENCE has already shown impressive range. His orchestral, slow-burning track Chappaquiddick, recorded with the Brooklyn Symphony, sits comfortably next to Stop Myself, a sleek, confessional summer anthem. Whether working with strings or synths, BENCE writes with intention — each lyric pulled from real experience, each melody shaped to hold it.

He doesn’t chase trends. Instead, BENCE leans into feeling — queerness, longing, the tension between what’s said and what isn’t. His songs don’t just tell stories; they hold them. And in doing so, they leave a mark that lingers. As he prepares to release his debut LP, it’s clear he’s not just making music — he’s building something lasting. A new kind of pop. A voice that resonates deeply. A name you’re about to hear a lot more of.
