Benji & Fede

The Italian duo Benji & Fede first connected online in a manner typical of the digital era, linking up on Facebook during 2010 while Benji resided in Australia and Fede remained in their shared hometown of Modena. Undeterred by the physical separation, they collaborated remotely to produce material until Benji relocated back to Italy at the close of 2012, at which point the pair entered the studio to track their first album. Warner Italy soon signed them, resulting in the 2015 release of 20:05. With their rising profile, the artists established the Young Artists for Emillia collective and issued the track “Giving More” to aid survivors of the 2012 earthquake. Their follow-up album, 0+, arrived in 2016 and extended their signature style of refined pop.
