by

Originating from the U.S., Benson Boone is known as a talented singer-songwriter. He briefly appeared on American Idol in the beginning of 2021 before deciding to step down. Subsequently, he experienced a surge in popularity on TikTok and eventually signed with Night Street Records.

Who is Benson Boone?

Born on the 25th of June, 2002, in Monroe, Washington, Benson James Boone is the son of Kerry and Nate Boone. Growing up with him were his four siblings – Kaylee, Natalee, Emma, and Claire.

In Monroe High School, Boone was a member of not just one but two sports teams – diving and tennis. Coach Bret Ingham oversaw his training. He successfully completed his education and received his diploma in the year 2020.

In his junior year of high school, Benson Boone’s talent for music emerged unexpectedly when a friend asked him to perform a piano and singing act at the school’s talent competition, despite the fact that he hadn’t sung before in public.

Afterward, he spent a single semester at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg, then decided to take a hiatus from his education to focus on his musical aspirations instead.

Career

Following his experience at a Jon Bellion concert, Benson Boone found himself inspired to take his singing more seriously. At a friend’s prompting, he started sharing singing videos on TikTok and applied for the 19th season of American Idol, submitting his audition in early 2021.

Instead of choosing to participate further in the competition after making it to the Top 24 following his invitation to Hollywood Week, he decided to step back for the sake of his professional commitments. Unfortunately, his performances at Hollywood Week didn’t get televised.

Initially, Benson Boone shared snippets from his self-composed pieces on TikTok, attracting an impressive 1.7 million followers prior to releasing his first official song.

As I, a humble gamer, unleashed my creative tunes to the world, it was none other than Dan Reynolds, the charismatic frontman of Imagine Dragons, who took notice and sparked my journey. He extended an offer for me to join Night Street Records, a label he co-founded in partnership with Warner Records, paving the way for my music to resonate with audiences far and wide.

On October 15, 2021, our partnership became public knowledge, marking the same day that Boone launched his debut single titled ‘Ghost Town’.

As a gamer, I took on multiple roles for our latest single release – I played the drums, guitar, and even the piano to create the track, and I designed the artwork that goes along with it. The song has been making waves across the nation, gracing stages on shows like Ellen DeGeneres’, Kelly Clarkson’s, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. This exposure led to chart success in a whopping 14 countries, including a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 right here in the U.S. – a pretty cool accomplishment if I do say so myself!

On February 18, 2022, Benson Boone introduced his second song titled ‘Room for 2’. Notably, Taylor Swift announced on social media in May 2024 that Boone would be among the three opening acts for her Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium in London, alongside Paramore.

On June 23, Boone took the stage as the opening performer for Taylor Swift’s concert. For the shows on June 21 and 22, Mette and Griff were the respective opening acts.

At Coachella 2025, Benson Boone took the stage not just once, but twice. During these appearances, he showcased a version of Bohemian Rhapsody, which was particularly memorable. In his first performance, Brian May, guitarist from Queen, joined him. However, Pitchfork criticized this collaboration as ‘terrible,’ ‘awful,’ ‘insipid,’ ‘irritating,’ and ‘a type of performance that provokes questions about the worth of this art form.’

Furthermore, during Coachella, it was revealed that he would be releasing his second album titled “American Heart” on June 20th next year. His promotional tour for this album, titled the “American Heart Tour,” is set to take place in North America from August to October 2025.

Personal Life

Born and raised within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Benson Boone currently does not consider himself an adherent to the Mormon religion.

Despite adhering to certain tenets of Mormonism, like abstaining from drugs and alcohol, since 2024, he has been in a relationship with the model, actress, and social media personality, Maggie Thurmon.

Net Worth

According to multiple reports, Benson Boone’s net worth is roughly around $1 million. His first full album, titled Fireworks & Rollerblades, was launched in the year 2024. Prior to this, he had already released two EPs: Walk Me Home in 2022 and Pulse in 2023.
