This led to POLAR CAPS sharing the stage with the likes of EXAMPLE, THE CRIBS, ALUNAGEORGE, JAKE BUGG and DJ FRESH, featuring on NME.com, and MTV, having celebrities such as STACEY SOLOMAN & ALEX ZANE tweet about him. Now with the recent release of his second EP , it seems the future is most definitely looking bright for this young upstart.

This lead to Bento’s debut radio release Slow Jam, also featuring BLUEY ROBINSON which reached no 18 in the Music Week urban chart, and resulting in being playlisted on numerous radio stations including Unity Radio and Kemet FM, as well as gaining the support of 1Xtra Target and Capital Xtra.
Bento’s father, a musician himself, encourage and exposed Bento to a wider variety of pop, rock and soul music, and this love of melody and classic music was ingrained but it was hip-hop and rap that give Bento the platform to express himself.
