Who I Am: From Monroe to Beautiful Things
I'm Benson Boone, a singer-songwriter from Monroe, Washington. Here is my story so far, in a few short steps, and how it ties into the merch in this shop.
Where did it start?
Monroe, Washington. I was born there on June 25, 2002. You'll find Monroe written on one of our designs.
American Idol. In early 2021 I auditioned for season 19 of American Idol and made it to Hollywood Week. Then I left the show to focus on my own music.
What came next?
A record deal. In October 2021 I signed with Night Street Records, the label founded by Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons, together with Warner Records.
The first singles. "Ghost Town" came out in 2021 as my debut single, and "In the Stars" followed in April 2022.
Beautiful Things. In January 2024 I released "Beautiful Things". It went to number two on the US Hot 100 and to number one in the UK, Australia and Canada.
What does the music sound like?
Pop, pop rock and alternative rock. I sing tenor, and the shows are big and theatrical. Many of our designs are just as bright and bold.
Where does the merch come in?
Every design starts with my name or my music. The sunflower wordmark, the American Heart eagle, the Boone 7 jersey letters and the Beautiful Things motel sign are all here.
It's made to be worn. Every design comes on tees, hoodies and sweatshirts, with kids' sizes too, and every product page has its own size chart.
