Benny Friedman was born in the Twin Cities, MN to a Chabad family of 14. From his earliest years music was always a part of Benny's life, whether it was joining in the Shabbat zemirot of his father, Rabbi Manis Friedman or singing along with the latest hits from his uncle, the internationally acclaimed Avraham Fried. Benny's studies took him to Iowa, LA, Miami, Tucson, and Israel, and wherever he went his talent was quickly discovered. Still a teenager, he was doing all sorts of performances.
