The winner of the 2017 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his performance as Evan Hansen in the smash hit, Dear Evan Hansen, Ben Platt is one of today's most extraordinary talents – a truly multi-faceted actor, singer, and all-around performer. In addition to his Tony triumph, Platt received a Grammy for his role on the Dear Evan Hansen (Original Broadway Recording), as well as a 2018 Daytime Emmy Award for his part in the cast's powerful performance of "You Will Be Found" on NBC's Today. Sing To Me Instead sees Platt making a remarkable arrival as recording artist and songwriter, co-writing all of the album's 12 songs. Described by its creator as "an amalgam of a bunch of different relationships in my past, and the very small amount that I've learned while grappling with love and romance," the LP is marked by a striking, deeply emotive brand of classic popcraft, enlivened with sweeping vocals and Platt's undeniable charm and versatility. Highlights include "Bad Habit," "Ease My Mind," "Grow As We Go," and "Temporary Love."
