About GRANT BENTON
Hungarian-born singer, songwriter, and producer Grant Benton is an artist whose music bridges continents, cultures, and generations. Now splitting time between Budapest and the United States, Grant crafts heartfelt songs that blend the timeless appeal of Pop and Adult Contemporary, often with the cinematic warmth of orchestral arrangements. His work is rooted in melody, emotion, and the enduring belief that music should bring light to people’s lives.
Grant’s love of music began in his childhood home in Budapest, where the sounds of Tom Jones, ABBA, and Boney M filled the air. While his parents didn’t play instruments, their passion for great songs left a lasting mark. At 12, he began learning piano and - almost immediately - started writing his own songs. “As soon as I knew the notes on the piano,” he says, “I started composing.”
With a sound also shaped by legends like George Michael, The Beatles, Elton John, and Billy Joel, Grant’s music carries echoes of pop’s golden age, while remaining fresh and emotionally honest. His influences span decades, but his sound is entirely his own—built on strong vocal melodies, lush arrangements, and lyrics that reflect life, love, and personal transformation.
Like a lot of songwriters, Grant writes music first, always letting mood guide the style. From solo piano ballads to full-scale productions, every song starts on the piano. He often collaborates with top-tier session musicians, and recently brought his orchestral dreams to life by recording with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra. "Hearing my own arrangements played by a 40-piece orchestra was an uplifting and majestic moment,
” he shares.
Since launching his solo career, Grant has released two original singles -- "We Feel" and "These are the Days to Remember" - with more on the way. His upcoming track, "Let's Dance," marks a creative turn, embracing dance-pop with a nostalgic nod to the disco sounds of his youth. “I had so much fun making this record,” he says. “Growing up in 1980s and the 1990s Europe, you couldn’t really get away from disco—and honestly,
I didn’t want to.”
With a catalog of original material ready for release, Grant is set to release new music beginning in November 2025, including his first-ever Christmas song. His full-length debut album will be released in early 2026, followed by live performances across the United States, Europe, South America and Asia.
Grant’s sound may not chase trends, but it resonates deeply with listeners who value great songwriting and heartfelt delivery. His music is made for grown-up audiences—those who still believe in the power of a great chorus, a rich arrangement, and a voice that tells the truth.
“I don’t write songs to follow charts,” Grant says.
“I write them because there’s something I need to say—and I think there’s someone out there who needs to hear.
