Bendre The Giant

In 2023, Ben Estrada was stuck. The singer-songwriter and producer, who has released music as BendreTheGiant since 2020, was living alone in Seattle, dealing with isolation, depression, and the end of a long-term relationship. Needing to change something, Estrada went out on a very long limb: He reconnected with and eventually became roommates with his childhood friend Delos Erickson, relocating to Portland, Oregon for a fresh start. Erickson, a keyboardist and recent music graduate from the University of Oregon, became Estrada's collaborator, and the two set out to transform the sound of BendreTheGiant.
