Biography

Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in Dear Evan Hansen and films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist. Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. He went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance on The Today Show, and more. Signed to Atlantic Records, he explored his formative influences, ranging from singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.
