Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and 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. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and 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 of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless 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, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, 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.

[@Lea-gd7zl]

i hope he comes to Europe. sing to me instead never ceases to make me cry - I discovered his music last February after seeing him in the politician in 2019 and I still can't listen to some songs without sobbing, he always finds the right words somehow. if I ever had to explain some emotions, I'd definitely use Ben's music to do so (especially "better" - there's stuff I can't express in my own words🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️)

This reminds me so much of my long distance relationship. After we spend a week together, sleeping in the same bed, eating good food, going on adventures I always feel like this. I know I’m going to have this song on repeat to remind myself that it will be happy again and the reason I’m sad is a good one; I miss him loads

[@MattB0610]

Ben’s music is deeply emotionally wise for somebody his age and he seems to truly understand something about the human condition that I might never fully understand. And this music keeps proving it to me. Thank you, Ben. I love you.

Probably unpopular opinion: he sounds better when he sings lower notes.

[@yulaimartinez94]

Grow as we go is the proof

[@escapingreality2695]

I was kinda thinking that too, not gonna lie. He sounds great either way though

[@philipnewsom3414]

Agree. Like him in lower notes..

[@MorbidCthulhu]

I mean, it’s only natural, he’s a baritone so lower notes for him are supposed to resonate really well for him. They’re the notes he’s going to sound best singing. Though, I will admit, how falsetto is very impressive

[@kingofthemultiverseforever893]

He sounds good no matter what he sings, but yes: I agree
