Benton Paul
From College of Fine Arts and Communications
Benton Paul graduated from BYU in 2007 with a degree in Media Music Studies
Paul is an full-time musician with a growing following. In 2009, popular musician Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers acknowledged that Paul's "I Only See You" was his favorite song at the time. The public endorsement led to increased media attention for Paul, who opened for David Archuleta at a sold-out show the next month.
Following the 2009 release of his EP Trois, Paul's song "Moon" ranked #79 on the iTunes pop chart and was featured as a Discovery Download during October of that year.
