Liam Benzvi, the composer, performer, and New York City native, has been a part of the city’s music scene for a while now, and through his years of gigging, producing, and releasing music, he has seemingly never tired in sharpening his skills for the current moment. Within the last few years, Benzvi’s career has been comprised of collaborations with Blood Orange, Porches, Hatchie and Coco and Clair Clair, and of bills shared with Turnstile, high school classmate Azealia Banks, and even Harry Styles. Benzvi, with a singular vocal talent and songwriting style, has truly run the gamut. His music imbues the white-hot effervescence that comes from his upbringing, raised among the millions of passers-by, a paradise for any keen observer coming of age.

Benzvi’s sophomore album, …And His Splash Band, arrives September 27th on Fat Possum.
