About
Jared Benjamin
Jared Benjamin is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter based in Nashville. His career took off with "Flatline," released as he finished a master's in songwriting and production at Berklee NYC - he willed it to 20 million streams by posting it 200+ times across socials. He's since amassed 100M+ streams, oscillating between dark-pop soundscapes, his love of storytelling, and the books that inspire him. His EP ICARUS: Too Close to the Sun anchors a 2026 tour, with "Three Steps Ahead" becoming a BookTok anthem along the way.
Jared Benjamin is an independent singer-songwriter who makes what he calls "caffeine-induced music" - emotionally honest pop with a focus on mental health and story-telling. Raised on Long Island and now based in Nashville, his career took off with "Flatline," released as he was graduating from Berklee NYC with a master's in songwriting and production; he willed that song to 20 million streams by posting it more than 200 times across socials.
Since then he's amassed over 100 million streams, oscillating between dark-pop soundscapes, his love of storytelling, and his love of books. That literary streak is most visible on "Three Steps Ahead," which found a second life on BookTok as a soundtrack for romance edits and POV videos. His catalogue spans distinct eras - Flatline, Hi's & Low's, Doomsday, Caffeine Addicts Only, and now ICARUS: Too Close to the Sun.
Just as defining is the community around it: the Potato Army, a fanbase that lives on Discord and in the paid "All Access" membership, turning listeners into a genuine family.
