BEN GOLDSMITH DROPS DEBUT ALBUM, THE WORLD BETWEEN MY EARS

KICKS OFF OPENING STINT ON JACK BOTTS’S “SUCKER FOR SUNSETS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR” TONIGHT

Today, 17-year-old pop, genre-bending singer-songwriter Ben Goldsmith released his debut album, The World Between My Ears. Listen here.

Named to The Hollywood Reporter’s “Emerging Artists 18 and Under” club for music this year, Goldsmith shared about the project, “This album is the melodic soundtrack of my life thus far…all my perception and experiences. I hope you enjoy it!”

Goldsmith co-wrote each of the 15 tracks on The World Between My Ears. The project includes his recently released song “Blown Away,” which is impacting Adult Album Alternative radio now. The World Between My Ears is a result of the singer traveling back and forth to Nashville during the Covid years to write songs, create his own sound, and woodshed in the studio with Brad Jones (Hayes Carll, Chuck Prophet, Ron Sexsmith), who he co-produced the project with. The album illustrates Goldsmith’s broad, melody driven and soulful musical palette.

2023 is shaping up to be a breakout year for the multidimensional artist. In June, just after Goldsmith graduated from high school (a year early), he announced his signing to Sony Music Nashville. He was offered a record deal on the spot after he performed for several executives last year. At the time, he was only 16 years old and without any major social media following. On the same day he announced his label signing, he shared that he penned deals with UTA and Universal Music Publishing Group Nashville as well.

The following week, the singer-songwriter took the stage at the iconic music festival, Bonnaroo. Goldsmith is set to open Jack Botts’s “Sucker for Sunsets North American Tour” this fall. He’ll also appear on select tour dates with Switchfoot and Patty Griffin, respectively.

Goldsmith’s musical journey started at four years old (where his violin teacher discovered he had perfect pitch) and has included jazz guitar studies at The Manhattan School of Music and Mannes College of Music in NY. Ben recorded an EP of original music at 11 years old and played all of the instruments. He developed a commanding onstage presence performing live in School of Rock programs, local community events, fairs and clubs by the time he was 12 years old. At 13 he perfected his guitar skills with Tomo Fujita, whose teaching résumé includes Berklee College of Music and John Mayer.

With a natural yet extraordinary gift for singing and songwriting and a passion for performing, Ben is blazing his own Converse-paved trail. For more information on Goldsmith, visit BenGoldsmith.net, and to watch past live performances, visit his YouTube.
