BenAnthony recently dropped his first full-length solo album, “Aunque Me Mate” on all major platforms.
BenAnthony started recording in his teens and hasn’t looked back. “I believe you must Love what you do” to make it work.” The Latin performer has produced songs as a solo artist and collaborated with many in the Latin community both in Canada and Internationally. BenAnthony’s success has made him a go-to artist for international stars appearing in Toronto. He has opened for Prince Royce, Nicky Jam, Ozuna, Bad Bunny and Dominican rapper El Alfa. Fresh off a tour with performances in Indonesia, England, France, Hungary, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Colombia, ending with a performance for Telemundo 51 in Miami, the talented artist is happy to be back home & ready to take the stage at the Toronto International Film Festival‘s “Young Filmmakers” Event.
Expressing his thoughts on receiving the ward, the artist shared “I am enamored that Hollywood recognizes the hard work we are doing for Latin music here in the north (Canada); as we move forward together, we plan to not only push Latin music but music in its entirety: music with a message with real human soul.”
