Benjamin Ingrosso | Growing Up In The Spotlight, Swedish Pop, New Album ‘Pink Velvet Theatre’

Born into one of Sweden’s most well-known entertainment dynasties, Benjamin Ingrosso has been famous in his home country since childhood. In fact, he first took the stage at just three years old, playing Mowgli in front of 25,000 people. Now 27, Ingrosso wrote his first hit at age eight, represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest, won the Swedish equivalent of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and hosted an award-winning cooking show — all while making occasional appearances on his family’s decade-long reality series, ‘Wahlgrens Värld.’But music has always been his first love, and with his fifth album, ‘Pink Velvet Theatre,’ he’s finally achieving the acclaim and recognition he has long pursued. A concept album filled with anthemic, kaleidoscopic pop, his songs fit seamlessly alongside Elton John, ABBA, and the Bee Gees while offering a fresh, modern spin.Now, in the midst of his first-ever U.S. tour, Ingrosso joins us in the studio to discuss his songwriting process and his journey from child star to five-time Swedish Grammy-nominated artist. He reflects on growing up in a famous family — including his cousin Seb from Swedish House Mafia and his sister influencer/entrepreneur sister Bianca — why Swedish songwriters are so successful and the Law of Jante. Plus, he opens up about public judgment, having no friends in school, self-doubt and self-belief, why he likes older ladies, why he was responsible for a Pecorino cheese shortage in Sweden, and much more.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uFollow The Zach Sang Show:https://tiktok.com/@zachsangshowhttps://www.instagram.com/zachsangshow/https://twitter.com/zachsangshowhttps://www.facebook.com/ZachSangShow/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
