Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.

Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.

Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

I can imagine Lady Gaga sitting in a corner with whiskey glass by her side, black heels on and nodding to you like "Yes. I approve".

[JordanDoww]

[leewalter]

Is no one gonna talk about how he’s rocking that eyeshadow 👀

[logan.weisberg]

Okay but Ben Platt’s eyeshadow is doing things to me

[josuecastillo]

As Jake Peralta would say "Chills, literal chills"

Congrats Ben!

[crestaljean]

If I have Ben's voice, I would never stop singing.

[toridles]

First there’s that iconic voice. Then there’s Ben in smoky eye makeup and the pure abandon in the way he sings. It all transports me to another solar system. Just. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[DylanCoteActor]

so THIS was the surprise.

i’m not mad about it.

[Webs.In.The.City.]

Conspiracy theory: Ben Platt is the FBI agent in my iPhone and he releases stuff when I need it the most

[katehartley]

This man was MADE. TO. SING. His vocals were given directly from God Himself, there is no other way a human can sing so beautifully and talented otherwise.

[missbumblebee]

Ben is performing this song with his whole mind, body and soul. It's magical to watch.

[morgan_c]

The vocals, the look he’s sporting, the vibe of the video. *EVERYTHING* about this is perfect!

[rmusic]

I just like to believe everything hes done is what wouldve happened to Benji after pitch perfect

[marialeordonez]

Who else feel that now we need Lady Gaga and Ben Platt singing together this song? 🙌🙋🏻‍♀️

[aaronspencervillasis]

He's such a great artist. One of the most underrated artists to be honest.

[AdityaSegara]

My most favorite song from Gaga, reimagined by one of my favorite singers. The weekend couldn't be better than this
Have a great weekend y'all!

[iamkybaldwin]

Good god Ben never ceases to amaze. Incredible job all round

[stevenspecht]

Gaga watching Ben sing: "Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it"

[like_miaow]

this gives off Brendon Urie and Freddie Mercury energies but still so uniquely Ben I love it

[jasperanne]

Omg. When you sang shallow and made a joke that you would do a gay reimagined a star is born I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN
