Can I Sing For You? - Alec Benjamin in Seoul, Korea

This man has almost 5 million followers on KZbin, almost 2 million on Instagram, and almost 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify, does concerts world wide, sold out and his songs are known all around the world. And he still goes around streets asking to sing to people in the most respectful way, doesn’t expect anyone to recognize him, takes photos even with people who didn’t recognize him at all until he said his name, loves singing more than he cares about “fame” and is generally the kindest human being. I know so many singers/famous people with half his followers who go around with bodyguards and disregard fans, while he just goes around just like that. I’m so proud to be his fan, for years and years now, I’ve loved and adored him and his music and no matter how far he goes he’s still the same nice guy asking to sing for people on the street. Also It would be so embarrassing to not recognize him until he says his name and then ask him for a photo, like what for when you don’t even remember his face?😂😅

[@sarahizabela4608]

escuto constantemente a música dele, mas com certeza eu não o reconheceria ao olhar pra ele, e depois de começar a cantar eu ainda poderia ficar com duvida mesmo assim, mas não reconhecer ele não me impede de ser apaixonada na voz dele e querer ir em um show dele logo

It's saddening how very few people recognized him. Alec's got insane talent and it needs to be acknowledged

I've got face blindness due to adhd but the moment he started singing I'd recognize that voice immediately haha. Truly wish more people knew of his music though.
