NZ wunderkind Bene joins Niche Talent Agency

Auckland native Bene is well on her way to becoming the next Lorde with the announcement today that she's inked a fresh deal with Niche Talent Agency.

The 18-year-old celebrated the news by releasing a brand new single Soaked, an R'n'B drenched slice of alt-pop that accentuates the young singer's soulful vocals.

The single was recorded at Morningside's Golden Age studio and produced by Leisure's Josh Fountain.

"We’re very excited to have Bene join the Niche Talent Agency. Bene had a really unique sound and remarkable songwriting skills. We can’t wait to see her grow in Australia." Niche's James Browning told TMN.

Bene joins an artist roster that includes the likes of Deep Sea Arcade, Haitus Kaiyote, M-Phazes, Sampa The Great and more.
