Career

2010s

Benjamin started pageantry at his teen years and won many titles.[1] In year 2012, he was scouted on the streets by Mediacorp which he emerged as the winner of "rising male star" on the reality TV program through public voting.[2] He was later scouted again to join Manhunt Singapore 2013 as one of the 12 finalist[3] and sparked national controversy. He made headlines[4] in Singapore after the announcement of the finalists, for being "pale and slim pretty boy" unlike the other contestants.

He later went on to become the first Asian model for Coldwear, regional winter wear retailer[5] and graced many editorial spreads for Springfield, Dolce & Gabanna, Lanvin, Givenchy, Denizen, Levis, Celio, DKNY JEANS, Armani Exchange and Zara.

Benjamin appeared in Ming Bridges's music video for her song “Summertime Love”.

Benjamin was featured "(Star) On the Rise" by Singapore Tatler[6] magazine in 2015 upon announcing his collaboration with songwriter and producer Lee Wei Song on his first mandopop single.

In 2016, Benjamin was signed on by Mediacorp's production team for 3 TV series, one of which was "The Gentlemen" co-starring Aloysious Pang and Carrie Wong. He later dropped out of the contract in the midst of filming citing personal reasons.
