A musician from an early age, singer and songwriter Benjamin Costello has always found he best expresses himself through music. His introspective lyrics and complex, emotional melodies reflect his passion as well as his education and musical influences. After receiving a formal music education in piano, voice, and conducting, Benjamin is exploring his own compositional voice as he moves away from genres with a clear divide between performer and composer.

Benjamin rediscovered his love for performing after putting together an acoustic show of songs by his strongest influence, Radiohead. Other influences include Damien Rice, the Beatles, and James Taylor. Benjamin’s captivating performances offer a combination of originals and select covers that speak to him. Each of his selections feature his smooth vocals, described as “hypnotic” and “tender and beautiful,” with piano or guitar accompaniment ranging from delicate and intricate to passionate and powerful. Benjamin is located in Ithaca, NY.

Artist's Note

The launching of this new site and release of "Start Again Tomorrow" really do represent a milestone in my life. All the trials that traveled with me to here, inspiring me along the way, with both joy and sorrow, are set free.

I feel truly blessed to be able to share my music with you -- to share my heart and my struggles and my love for life. The incredibly generous support you have given me over the years was the kick in the ass I needed to finally re-awaken. I hope that this amazing new day is just the beginning.
