LA-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, [Alec Benjamin](https://www.instagram.com/alecbenjamin/?hl=en) is a self-proclaimed narrator of a cinematic, lo-fi sound. His global rise can be attributed to the many “parking lot shows” put on for fans outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. Distributing business cards, and weekly released youtube covers skyrocketed his self-made success, leading to his Atlantic Records recording contract. Viral hits like “[I Built A Friend](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nBI-ftWjTc)” and “[Let Me Down Slowly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mAgelsVrHs&app=desktop)” exhibit a promising future for the 24 year old. This past weekend, Alec documented his days to show us a glimpse of his tour life:

Life on the road has its ups and downs, but tour has been great so far.
