Benjamin Mascolo Facts
- He hails from Modena in Italy.
- Benjamin has stated that he had developed an interest in music early on in his life. He launched his eponymous YouTube channel in May 2008 and began posting his songs on it. He had met his partner Federico on the internet in December 2010 after which they started their collaboration as a YouTube cover group and had become a sensation in Italy following the release of their breakthrough song titled Tutta d’un fiato (2015). Benji & Fede has Federico as the lead vocalist and Benjamin on the guitar and they are known for their pop ballads and romantic lyrics.
- Benjamin has written most of his social media content in the Italian language.
- He has been a strong supporter of the LBGTQ+ community. He has posted a painting made by him on his Instagram account in April 2018, which showed a pride heart featuring 2 Lego-like people in the middle coming together. It has made sense that he is an ally as his girlfriend Bella has identified as pans*xual and so she would definitely be comfortable with someone understanding that.
- He had sat down to interview his favorite artist Ed Sheeran in March 2017, at the end of which he had requested him to write his name on his arm so that he could get it tattooed.
