Benjamin “Benjah” Thom is a critically acclaimed GRAMMY®-nominated and Dove® Award-winning songwriter, producer, and music engineer.
Benjah was featured on and produced two tracks for Lecrae’s latest project entitled “Rehab.” It was nominated for both GRAMMY® and Dove® Awards while reaching #15 on the Billboard top 200 and #1 on Billboard Christian charts. He also produced and was featured on “Blacklight” by Tedashii (Hit Billboard top 200 / #1 on the Christian charts). Benjah was one of the original members of Group 1 Crew and had the opportunity to produce and write for five songs on their self-titled freshmen project with Word/Warner Records which won a Dove Award. He has also worked with many other artists including mainstream neo-soul singer Angie Stone.
His first album, entitled “Filtered,” was the manifestation of years of professional music training coupled with the spiritual life lessons learned; many of them from personal tragedies and triumphs. “Filtered” featured high profile collaborations with Lecrae, Sho Baraka and Dillavou. Benjah’s next release was a duo album. ‘Introducing: Lov’d Ones’ was a Reggae and Hip Hop collaboration with Dillavou. It featured Christian Reggae Rock artist Dominic Balli and was very well received peaking at #2 on the iTunes reggae charts.
Benjah’s sophmore solo album is entitled “The Break Up”. The album uses a relationship metaphor to paint a picture of the Christian’s fight against the flesh. It feels like love at first sight, but when the deception of sin is revealed, a ‘Break-up’ is essential.
Benjah’s talents as an music producer, writer and engineer are balanced with his vocal stylings and lyrical abilities. The album showcases heartfelt vocals laid over powerful production. His scripture-infused lyrics inspire you to recognize deception and to hold fast to truth.
