Freshly signed by Universal Music Switzerland in 2024, Gabriel Benedek is stepping into a new era—one where his deeply emotive, genre-blending sound reaches an even wider audience. His music captures a feeling we all know: a longing, a deep-seated desire for something just beyond reach. It’s a sentiment that has driven the 31-year-old Basel-based artist for more than half his life, shaping his distinctive sonic identity that blends electronic and pop influences. This longing—whether for lightheartedness, freedom, or moments of pure human connection—resonates in every note of his unmistakably smoky voice. His songs, which have already found an international fan base, achieved millions of streams with “Leila” in 2020, and captivated listeners with their poetic depth, now come with fresh momentum. With a backpack full of new music and a major label behind him, Gabriel Benedek is ready to take the stage and share his sound with the world like never before.
