Be Brave Benjamin is the musical alias of Benjamin Rhys Palmer.

Benjamin was born in Wales, a nation known for its love of melancholy and melody. Two characteristics that undoubtedly find their way into his music. He is currently based in Mexico and you might also hear some of that country's proud musical heritage reflected in his songs too.

Be Brave Benjamin's songs have an organic, vintage vibe, and include elements of indie, Americana, country, blues and lo-fi. His voice is warm and his melodies often bittersweet. Lap-steel guitar, piano, Hammond organ, trumpet and accordion can all be heard on his recordings. Benjamin's vocals are often complemented by those of talented female vocalists.

Musically, Benjamin is inspired by a wide range of styles, though he tends to favour artists with warmth and character, finding a lot of the music that's being made today too slick and overproduced. Some of his favourite artists include Yo La Tengo, The Kinks, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Vel
