Alec Benjamin's debut album, These Two Windows, is out now
"I talk to him all the time," he says, adding, "I don't know if we'll make a song together but to me, it's just nice to have a friend. That's not really on my radar. I just want to be his friend."Famous friends and new opportunities aside, Benjamin says life hasn't changed all that much since the release of "Let Me Down Slowly.
" "I still live at home with my parents," he says. "I'm still stressed out all the time. Touring changed my life quite a bit because I travel a lot. But personally, everything is exactly the same." As Benjamin's fame grows to the likes of Mayer, 42, there will undoubtedly be an increased interest in his personal life. But, for now, Benjamin says he doesn't "think anyone is really interested in what I'm doing." "I'm not like Billie Eilish," he says. "The thing I most struggle with is that you have to be on social media and do stuff. I don't want to do that. I'm down to post pictures by myself on Instagram."In quarantine, Benjamin says his struggles have only been heightened due to the rising popularity of TikTok. "It's the most unhealthy thing for people mentally," he says of the video-sharing platform. "It's the social media equivalent of eating Doritos. It's like, 'Oh you want me to make a video on TikTok?' Why? I don't want to do that. It's getting harder and harder and harder to just make music. That's my biggest struggle." "I totally appreciate the platform for what it is," he adds. "But it's just not what I do. People are so creative and smart. But I'm not smart in that way." As for his fans, Benjamin says he wants them to "stay safe and healthy" during this time and to "draw their own conclusions" about his new music.Close
