“Trying different ways to write a song or just free-styling lyrics is so therapeutic. I ended up writing an album within a month because it’s just a huge part of my life and expressing what I’m going through.”
Interviews
Armed with a brand new release and an extensive back-catlalogue to lose yourself within, Creature Benny remains one of indie’s most fearlessly unique creatives.
“I would say the main focus is self expression and being honest. Saying out loud what I feel inside, being open about my worries, problems, insecurities in myself, how I feel towards the future and how I view the world we live in today.”
“The art and music we make together is immeasurable in comparison to our solo work – when we work together, we do not just collaborate, we become one, we become one mind, one person, one band, and the song we are making.”
“It’s everything I want to say in my “real” life but only feel safe to say when it’s a lyric.”
“The hardest challenge is off the bat getting venues to let you rent them out, because I’m independent and I’m not a huge artist, even with the same budget I get turned away because of their lack of confidence in me getting a huge turnout, which I understand.”
“We Can’t Stop was created from the need to inspire and encourage people to believe in the power of resilience despite any obstacles that come our way. It was written during Covid, a time when so many were alienated and questioned so many things.”
“The Glass Man is centered around my insecurity as an artist. With rap, I feel the criticism can be much worse than other genres. I wanted to make this album into a story that unfolds as my emotion and attachment to rap become unglued.”
“Fantastic – what a beautiful year. Even during difficult moments, because we are alive, creating music and pushing forward into the future with great anticipation.”
“The things we say to ourselves can be so horrible & mean, things that we would never say to anyone else, so you want to become your own best friend.”
“I was thinking on making a very speedy track inspired on a rave. Something hectic and highly energetic, like a car race. At the same time I came up with the idea of being surrounded by NPCs in a party and not really connecting with anyone.”
“I do not see myself as a budding star, just somebody who wants to share his songs with everybody.”
