FORM & KILIMANJARO PRESENT: Charlie Bennett + Special Guests Inspired by the likes of Dayglow, Beabadoobee and Oscar Lang, Bennett started releasing music in late 2020 having taught himself to record and produce from his bedroom during lockdown. A self-declared “bedroom pop artist”, Bennett was drawn to the inclusive, anti-gatekeeping attitude of the genre due to its prioritisation of creativity over anything else: you make music simply with what you have, and the instruments you can play. Charlie Bennett has built a community of over 500,000 dedicated followers. At their centre sit his biggest fans, his “Strawbennetts”, who’ve streamed Charlie’s music over 12.5 million times to date. He’s received no shortage of acclaim and support has included multiple placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK, Our Generation, Fresh Finds UK & IE, adds to Apple’s New in Alternative and alt pop, a support slot on Will Joseph Cook’s recent UK tour, plays on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing, KCRW and the attention of major label bosses (one of whom Bennett remembers chatting to on Zoom whilst folding his socks). /
