"New" Artist of the Month for July 2026
American singer and songwriter Benson Boone was born on June 25, 2002. As the only son of parents, Nate and Kerry Boone, he was raised alongside his four sisters in his hometown, Monroe, Washington. While growing up, Boone showed great interest and excitement in the music industry, even teaching himself how to play the piano by listening to his sister’s piano lessons.
In demonstrating an excitement to pursue music, his parents and siblings were very supportive of his journey and aspirations. After graduating from Monroe High School in 2020 and briefly attending Brigham Young University, Boone consequently dropped out to focus on his musical career.
In spending time to develop his talents, Boone has steadily demonstrated his musical talents in his recent songs. With the song, “Beautiful Things” (2024) rocketing to the top charts across the globe, Boone’s name was quickly begging to be recognized as a new, growing artist. Still young in his career, Boone is actively developing his craft as a rising new star in the music industry.
