Finding Yourself with Alec Benjamin

Singer-songwriter and musician Alec Benjamin joins your hosts to chat everything from finding yourself as an artist to feet pics and AI. They chat astrology and numerology, with Brandi sensing he’s a fellow Gemini, plus Alec dishes on touring with John Mayer, and the time he got a little too high and had to sleep in bed with his parents because he thought he was going to die (hey, we’ve all been there). The trio gets real about being intentional in your 30s and being able to take criticism as an artist. Lastly, they play a game of Truth or Toke that has Alec dishing on DMing Doja Cat before diving into your Dear MTs. 00:00 Intro 01:49 Welcome Alec! 02:46 What exactly is a mixtape? 04:19 Pursuing music 06:22 Karate, camp counselling and cheerleading 10:43 Brandi guesses Alec’s zodiac sign 13:43 Numerology 15:33 Touring with John Mayer 22:01 Living with his parents and trying edibles 26:50 Brandi’s first drink 27:25 Tish’s parenting 30:04 Alec’s 2024 mindset 40:08 Song writing 42:52 Dream collab 47:27 Anxiety 50:23 Truth or Toke 50:53 What is the strangest fan edit you’ve ever seen to one of your songs? 52:48 Have you ever slid into a fan’s DMs? 55:22 Using ChatGPT 58:17 Describe your worst performance and what did you learn from the experience? 01:01:12 Dear MT’s Be sure to follow Alec: https://www.instagram.com/alecbenjamin/?hl=en Thanks to our awesome sponsor for supporting this episode: HomeChef – For a limited time, HomeChef is offering our listeners 18 free meals, plus free shipping on your first box, and free dessert for life, at https://HomeChef.com/STONED.
