KING LX
His castle is his music, and his words is his wealth. After years of successfully working with a variety of (national and globally well- known) artists, King LX has built his own kingdom, which proves itself to be just as versatile and colorful as his emperor is - as the world he lives in, his origins and his understanding of what it means to be a global citizen. Effortlessly Benji rules over rhythms and lyrics. Resulting in modern, expressive pop music carried by soul and R'n'B influences - easy to listen to and yet never lacking depth. Inspired by “the greats” like Sam Cooke or Prince and his own origins and deeply personal musical socialization in life. Benji gifts their songs his personal stories and delivers them with his distinctive, inimitable Soul, whilst the Producer Fayzen provides their unique Sound that makes King LX a project that is inevitable to miss in 2022. In the case of King LX, music that sounds like a piece of the future is created in a small coWage by the woods, where artists from all over the world meet to make music, take photographs, film and, of course, cook. At the core of what sustains King LX is the constant personal and artistic exchange, which the creative melting-pot provides to the project. Even before his first release, King LX has attracted the attention of various music industry representatives – and with good reason: the project isn’t simply about good and catchy music. King LX stands for diversity – in a human and musical sense, bound- and limitless. The sound of a new generation, all over the world. Benji writes his own lyrics from an early age and takes his first steps as a musician in the local school band. At the age of 22, he gathers experience as a social worker in the US, where his boss takes him to church, and he discovers his voice and feeling for music anew. Until this day, he says these influences have "left a lasting mark on him and his music.
