Seemingly a catchy folk/pop song in it's opening, it's not long before Addicted turns the genre on its head into some sort of slow-motion Post-RnB chorus dripping with duality between pleasure and addiction. Yellowitz' singer-songwriter style is distinctive in that it is is about pleasure, addiction, queerness, gender and identity.

Addicted

Hailing from the industrial city of Birmingham, Benjamin Yellowitz lives beneath his self-built studio in a warehouse in London with several other artists and a worn out cat. 

 

Yellowitz is no stranger to the stage - singing with honesty upheld by his captivating stage presence and energetic guitar-percussion. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Yellowitz  somehow fuses folk with warm electronica to create a rich feeling that fills the room. 

 

A skilled producer, Yellowitz masterfully blends authentic acoustic sounds with his signature electronic production style, creating powerful sonic worlds in various projects including Of Ghosts And Other Forms, collaborations with Nuage and fellow queer artists like DYVR, as well as live theatre shows with The New Shadow Cabinet. 


Yellowitz has featured on several BBC Introducing Sessions, and has achieved considerable acclaim in the press with BBC Radio describing his performances as “compelling, emotive and energetic.”

Welcome to my Soundcloud Page. I am a songwriter based in St Helens, a town in the Northwest of the UK.
You will find songs in a singer-songwriterly vein, written and recorded by me, taking in a range of musical genres,  alt/indie rock songs recorded by The (Now Legendary) Maybees in the 1990s, some classical sounding music by The Lucem Symphonia, as well as banging EDM/electronic tunes by Casaubon and a few mixes of a collaboration with Bentcousin,. Unknown Unknown is another alias I have used for one release and Firenze Anemones is a new project. Most recently, I have collaborated with Massachusetts composer Betsy Breitborde on The Ghosts of Christmas Past.
Whether it's plainly a demo or a painstakingly mastered recording, I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please leave comments and don't be afraid to get in touch, I am always interested in getting feedback and connecting with other lovers of music. If you want to download anything, many of the finished recordings are available on Bandcamp and an increasing number are on all of the usual digital platforms. If you use other platforms, you can find music from me (and some others) there under the names:
