Moon King

@danielmoonking Moon King is the synthpop project of singer and producer Daniel Benjamin. In the early 2010's Daniel was part of the flourishing electronic music scene in Toronto & Montreal, performing as a touring drummer while beginning to write and produce his own music. A 2016 move to Detroit and immersion in that city’s vibrant dance music and DJ culture began to influence his own recordings, and Montreal label Arbutus Records offered to release a collection of new material. Hamtramck '16, named for the Detroit-area neighborhood, documented Moon King's shift towards disco and dance music, followed by Voice Of Lovers in 2019 and The Audition in 2021. He’s toured extensively in North America and Europe with artists like Men I Trust, TOPS, Mr Twin Sister, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
