Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Benjamin<br />
was inspired by Christian rock pioneers Petra<br />
and DC Talk. He found a passion for reaching<br />
people through music and began his career<br />
performing around his small hometown of<br />
Lacomb, Ore. One day he received a call to rap<br />
for a little-known band named Callbox, who<br />
later changed their name to Kutless. On that<br />
group's first album, Benjiman rapped on a song<br />
called "Pride Away," which led to further collaborations<br />
with Kutless and Falling Up. Eventually,<br />
he signed a recording contract with BEC<br />
Recordings in 2004 and his first solo release,<br />
Activate, climbed the charts with the Top 10 hit<br />
single, "Trace of Love" and the Top 20 hit,<br />
"Activate." That project paved the way for<br />
several nationwide tours and a myriad of festival<br />
performances. Now a familiar face at big<br />
festivals nationwide such as Creation, Spirit<br />
West Coast and Joshuafest, Benjamin says he<br />
feels called to reach out to the churched and<br />
the unchurched. "Rap is a universal language<br />
that opens doors to many. His Act is one that<br />
reaches out to bring a powerful message!<br />
