Born in Tulsa to a ministry family that relocated to Ohio when he was young, Seth Benjamin has the whole of the Midwest in his roots. Raised on many styles of music like church, gospel, soul, folk, and Americana, he had genres fusing together in his mind before he even knew what the word meant. From the moment he snuck into his older brother’s room and first picked up a guitar, he was entranced by telling stories through melodies and lyrics. In adolescence, he discovered the sound of alternative music as he started a pop-punk band in high school and naturally found his way into the hardcore scene. He has enjoyed playing many roles in different groups throughout the years, discovering the joys of multiple instruments and musical styles.

Seth is most known for his COVID-era indie, hip hop, and pop project, now under the artist name Asaph. Characterized by his unusual vocal timbre and rhythmic lyrical stylings, he pens songs often drawing on life, love, and faith.

For his upcoming releases, Seth is getting back to his roots of singing songs on his guitar as he wrestles with the challenges of getting older, love that lasts, and changing friendships. His first single, “Pray For Me,” coming on Nov. 20, dives headfirst into this with a sound that is both a new direction and a return home. His new songs aim to tell a story of where he’s been and where he is headed.
