WHO?

​​​

 

  Rooted in tradition but with an eye towards contemporary exploration, Benchi's music reflects his upbringing in the vibrant landscapes of South America and his immersion in the cultural tapestry of the Middle East. Through his artistry, he shares his rich and dynamic journey of exploring humanity's cultural diversity and his own. 

 

Benchi draws inspiration from a wide array of influences, taking cues from the rhythmic flow of artists like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, the emotional depth of Spanish singers such as Buika and Diego El Cigala, and the intricate phrasing of jazz saxophonists Kenny Garrett and Miguel Zenon. While these artists inspire his work, Ben-Chi's sound is uniquely his own, shaped by his personal journey and cultural heritage.​

 

He holds a Master's degree in Music Production and Performance from Berklee College of Music and a Bachelor's in Jazz Performance from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.

    WHAT?

​

   Benchi's music is a journey—one that invites listeners to explore the intersections of cultures, the power of storytelling, and the endless possibilities of contemporary music. Through his compositions and performances, he aspires to inspire, uplift, and provoke thought, creating a space where tradition meets innovation and individuality meets universality. With years of experience in producing, recording, performing, teaching, and playing music, in Benchi's current projects folder on his desktop one can find an album that's being made in collaboration with his older brother, Haimon, together they've been producing Haimon's upcoming second album. Another coming album that celebrates his heritage and continues exploring his thesis on his roots and the roots of his tradition using his grandmother´s old recording and samples, and his very own debut album with original songs.
