DANIEL BENYAMIN – “Eral Fun” + Exclusive Interview

Hello, thank you for your time, please introduce yourself in a few words! 

I am a music possessed, creative person with a deep love for honesty and ideas.

Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?! 

On February 18th my new single „I Gotta Know“ and on February 25th my new album „Eral Fun“ will be released. It’ s my solo debut and the first album I released after my work with SEA + AIR. My childhood friend Zar Monta Cola who plays drums and synth bass at the same time and me will play some release shows in March and bigger tours in May and October.

Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?! 

Emotions, atmosphere, strange creativity, big melodies and twisted rhythms. My good looks have nothing to do with me as an artist 🙂

What fashion style or brand would best describe your music? 

Marie Antoinette’ s pearl chain found in a fucked up second hand shop in Eastern Germany.

Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!? 

The songs on „Eral Fun“ are a collection of 11 short stories about death and fun. Eral Fun, Fun Eral, y’know. Looking back I realized that I had been writing about death regularly in a tragic but also funny way since I first started to write music when I was 11. So I knew I had to do a record about this one day.  A lot of strange death-related stuff happened to me in the last time. But since not all of it was negative it turned out to be the most positive record I ever made. Dancing on graves or laughing at the edge of the abyss. A little bit like what all of humanity is doing right now…

Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I think ideas are my strength. And I am a secret circus artist. But I won’ t let that out for another couple of years.

Being on stage feels like….! 

A rush of every emotion you can have in life amplified 10.000 times.

How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play?? 

I grew up having no tv, no radio, no internet, very little friends. So all I had was my mind and my melodies and the idea that everything can be self-taught. So that’ s what I did. I played Lego or instruments and never got bored. Since I can think.

A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
