Toronto based artist/songwriter Benita is an impeccable vocalist, combining textures of R&B and Pop in her sound. Hailing from the Jane and Finch neighbourhood, Benita started her musical journey performing in musicals and school coffee houses in high school to then singing backup for local artists in Toronto including Daniel Caesar. Benita graduated from The Remix Project and then found her way diving into releasing her own original music in 2019 to now accumulating over 1M streams/plays across all platforms.

Benita’s debut EP “SCARLET” was released in March of 2022 which gained recognition on Lyrical Lemonade, Much Music, and landed on playlist covers like “Ripple Effect” and “The Newness.” She recently held her first show at the SoHo House in Toronto and had it packed with a full house. Her proudest moment to date was performing on the Budweiser Stage in 2022 for the annual Manifesto Festival and was invited to do an eTalk interview on her experience. Benita recently opened for Juno Winner Savannah Ré at her debut headlining show at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, and also opened for Jesse Gold at the top of 2023. She was also a main co-writer on Jon Vinyl’s “PALISADES” EP which was just nominated for a Juno.
