Benni Ola is a los angeles-based singer, songwriter and poet whose husky, soulful voice has turned him into one of dance music's go-to feature vocalists. his catalog runs through collaborations with TOKiMONSTA, JPEGMAFIA, and Channel Tres, and his own sound blends soul, hip-hop and spoken word into productions built for the club.

he started as a poet, not a singer, drawing and writing stories since childhood before folding spoken word into song. that instinct still runs through his lyrics, which touch on themes including his nigerian upbringing. it's front and center on Chaos Theory, the two-part EP he built with producer Daktyl for TOKiMONSTA's Young Art Records, part one out in may 2023 and part two that september.

I wasn't looking, I've always been someone who told their story and who told stories, and art has always been by my side since I was a child.
