Benson Boone, born on June 25, 2002, in Monroe, Washington, is an American singer-songwriter who has rapidly risen to prominence in the music industry.
Raised in a close-knit family, Boone discovered his musical talent almost by accident during his high school years.
Initially known for his athletic pursuits, including competitive diving and tennis, Boone had no formal vocal training until a friend recruited him to sing at a school talent show.
His natural talent shone through, sparking a journey that would take him from viral TikTok videos to international stages.
Boone’s emotive voice and heartfelt lyrics have resonated with a global audience, establishing him as a Gen Z pop-rock sensation.
Siblings
Boone grew up as the only boy among four sisters in a tight-knit family in Monroe, Washington.
His sisters, Kaylee, Natalee, Emma, and Claire, have played significant roles in shaping his life and career.
Kaylee, one of his older sisters, is a mental health activist who has been vocal about her personal struggles, inspiring Boone’s own openness in his music.
Natalee, a younger sister, frequently appears in Boone’s social media posts, showcasing their playful and supportive bond.
She is known for her adventurous spirit and love for sports, often joining Boone in lighthearted TikTok videos that highlight their sibling camaraderie.
Emma and Claire, the other two sisters, maintain lower profiles but are equally supportive, contributing to the family’s close dynamic.
Boone has often credited his sisters for grounding him, providing emotional support, and influencing his songwriting.
Career
Boone’s music career began unexpectedly when he filled in as a vocalist for a friend’s band at a high school Battle of the Bands competition.
His performance stunned his family and friends, who were unaware of his vocal abilities.

In 2021, he auditioned for season 19 of American Idol, earning a golden ticket with a piano cover of Aidan Martin’s “Punchline.”
Despite advancing to the Top 24, Boone withdrew from the competition to focus on his original music, a decision that proved pivotal.
His debut single, “Ghost Town,” released in October 2021 under Night Street Records (in partnership with Warner Records), charted in 16 countries and marked his arrival as a serious artist.
Boone played multiple instruments on the track and even designed its artwork, showcasing his multifaceted talents.
Subsequent singles like “In the Stars” (2022) and “Beautiful Things” (2024) further cemented his success, with the latter topping charts in multiple countries and reaching number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
His debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades (2024), received widespread acclaim, followed by the announcement of his second album, American Heart, set for release in June 2025.
Boone’s career highlights include performing at Coachella 2025, where he collaborated with Queen’s Brian May, and opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London.
His ongoing “American Heart Tour” across North America in 2025 underscores his growing global influence.
Accolades
In 2025, Boone earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, a testament to his impact as a newcomer.
His single “Beautiful Things” not only dominated global charts but also became a cultural phenomenon, earning certifications such as Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Boone’s earlier single, “Ghost Town,” also achieved Gold status in the U.S., reflecting his consistent ability to connect with audiences.
His performances on high-profile platforms like The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Late Night with Seth Meyers have further elevated his profile.
Additionally, Boone’s inclusion as an opener for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and his Coachella 2025 appearance alongside music legends highlight his growing prestige.
