Manny Benton is a singer/songwriter from Fort Washington, MD and the owner of Harbens Studio and Grafted App. He also serves as the Worship Pastor for Avert Church. His latest single, Your Love Endures Forever (YLEF) is now available on all digital platforms.

Benton, a former football journalist for scout.com, now uses his gift of writing to express his passion and love for Jesus. As a songwriter, he strives to clearly communicate biblical truths that both Christ followers and unbelievers can comprehend.

Coming from a family full of pastors (including his late grandfather, Dr. Harrison E. Benton Jr.), Benton was rooted in the church. At the age of 16, he sang at an open mic church service for the first time. “Most of the people who watched me grow up in the church never heard me sing,” he says. “It was kind of nerve wracking to do an original while letting people hear me sing for the first time.” Soon, he was leading the worship team with his own compositions at his grandfather’s church, New Creation AME.

Eventually, Benton hit the studio with Sean Hill who produced Christian Pop stars such as Jamie Grace and Landry Cantrell. “Your Love Endures Forever (YLEF)” is Benton’s third single, after releasing “I Look To You” and “Strength and Shield.”
