Represent Recommends: Who is RJ Benjamin?
In April 2005, yes that’s two years ago, we first heard about RJ Benjamin and decided to do an interview with him. Now two years later his star is finally rising as we hear his groove-filled music all over the radio. We thought it would be interesting to read the interview now: 19 April 2005 – Who is RJ Benjamin? He’s a white boy from the East side with lots of soul who looks to be our very own Justin Timberlake… He’s released his debut album WHO I AM – if you’re into soulful funk kinda stuff make sure to buy it before it slips off the shelves. Don’t forget who told you first. We caught up with the man and found out a little inside info: Where were you born and where did you mostly grow up? Born and raised in Edenvale. Where did you go to school and how far did you study? I went to school at Sandringham High. I studied contempary music for two years at Allenby and got a Diploma and then I studied Jazz for a year at Pretoria Tech What is the earliest type of music that you listened to and what was the first album that you bought? Earliest Motown Sounds, First album Bad by Michael Jackson How old are you and how long have you been in the music business? 25 going on 26, been in the industry teaching for 6years and music industry for 3 to 4 years Which musician did you hook up with first and how did you meet? DJ Cleo, while studying in Allenby Who writes your songs? Me myself and I, Who can singa song with emotion unless you’ve been there. Do you start with the lyrics or the melody first? It depends on the song, it depends on the situation and circumstances Who has been most instrumental to your success? The team working around has had real belief in me. What has been the best gig for you so far? My launch Where do you mainly record and why? No specific studio, because working with specific producers they feel comfortable with their studio, so its just moving around How come a white boy like you got so much soul??? Did you only listen to so-called “black music” growing up or were you mixing with black friends too? Early on in my life it was hard to mix with black people, later in primary school I did see that first sign of black people moving into white schools, which made it easier. Initially it was my dad who bought me up in a lot of soul...
