Eddie Benjamin is a singer and songwriter whose popularity started to rise when he worked with artists like Meghan Trainor, Ryan Tedder, Diplo, and Labrinth. Both Sia and Justin Bieber are his mentors, even though he was born in Australia and lives in Los Angeles.

She told the publication, “I was in a public relationship for two years, and I will never, ever make another relationship as public as I did.” “I learned from my mistake. People on Instagram have thought that I date certain people, but I’m like, “Give it a rest.”
Eddie, on the other hand, is a rising music star. In April 2021, he released his first EP, Emotional, which had a song called “Speechless” about Maddie. He told WWD about the song, “We were best friends around the time I wrote it. I played it for her, and she’s been obsessed ever since.” The dancer was, of course, also in the music video.
