It’s official: Benjamin Elgar is the name on everyone’s playlist right now. His latest single, “Better Tho,” skyrocketed to #3 on the iTunes Pop Charts and secured the #9 spot globally, proving he’s more than just a newcomer to the pop scene—he’s a force shaping its future. But what’s the story behind the track that’s captured the world’s attention? “Better Tho” is more than a bop; it’s an anthem for healing and resilience.

“I wanted this song to reflect the strength you find after hardship,” Elgar shares, and fans clearly relate. The track’s infectious energy and raw emotion make it impossible not to hit repeat.
Elgar’s musical DNA is as eclectic as his sound. Growing up in a household full of contrasting influences—80s pop from his mom, R&B and jazz from his dad, and rap from his sister—he developed a style that seamlessly mixes genres. That diversity shows up in “Better Tho,” where lush production meets heart-on-sleeve lyricism, co-created with The Last Artful, Dodgr, and John Ho.
And the visuals? A masterpiece. The music video for “Better Tho” takes storytelling to the next level, with Elgar’s choreography mirroring the song’s journey of empowerment. Think stormy skies, moody rain, and dance sequences that’ll have you in your feelings. It’s bold, cinematic, and utterly captivating—everything you’d expect from an artist who grew up glued to MTV.
Elgar is already rubbing shoulders with industry heavyweights like Manny Marroquin and Dave Kutch, but his work remains deeply personal. “I’m pulling from my own experiences—both the highs and the lows—to create music that’s real,” he explains.
With “Better Tho” climbing charts and his debut album on the horizon, it’s safe to say this is just the beginning for Benjamin Elgar. Whether you’re dancing in your room or crying in your car, his music is here to soundtrack your life.
