Superpower on the Side<\/a><\/em><\/strong> features WeWork team members and how they spend their time when they’re not at work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2018, if you\u2019d asked Benjamin Carter where he saw himself over the next year-and-a-half, he could never have predicted where his music would take him. Back then he was living in Washington, D.C., and hadn\u2019t performed in nearly two years. Today, he\u2019s living in Los Angeles, has three singles and a cover song out, and is about to release four new songs and his first EP, titled Self-Portrait: Volume 1<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just incredible,\u201d says Carter, 24, a community manager at the forthcoming WeWork 5161 Lankershim Blvd<\/a> in North Hollywood. \u201cI didn\u2019t see any of this happening, especially in less than a year.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in D.C., Carter\u2019s musical hero was his dad, an Assemblies of God pastor and choir director who is \u201cone of those phenoms who can play any instrument you can think of,\u201d he says. Carter wrote his first song when he was in third grade, though his chosen genre was slightly different than the gospel and alt-rock music his dad loved. \u201cI wrote a rap about Spider-Man and drew a picture beside it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he got older, Carter wrote and played music at church, and eventually enrolled at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, as a music major. He performed in coffee shops around the small college town. But after failing two classes, Carter began to question his own talent. By the time he graduated in 2016, he\u2019d switched his major to organizational leadership. <\/strong>\u201cI got caught up in thinking, \u2018How many people are going to listen? Am I going to be famous?\u2019\u201d Carter says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After college, Carter returned home to D.C. and took a break from performing. He landed a job managing the espresso bar at WeWork Metropolitan Square<\/a>, and got married. On the outside, it seemed as if his adult life was falling into place. But inside, he felt something was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carter, a skilled WeWork barista turned manager, knew he needed to follow his musical dreams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI kept saying to my wife, \u2018What if [music] is what I\u2019m meant to do?\u2019\u201d he recalls. \u201c\u2018[To] just put my music out there and share it with people?\u2019 I felt like if this is what God asks, then I\u2019m going to do it and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a month-and-a-half, Carter recorded a cover<\/a> of Leon Bridges\u2019s hit \u201cRiver\u201d in a friend\u2019s basement and put it online. He felt great. \u201cTo be able to do that and do my job here at WeWork is really, really cool,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a whim, he sent his cover to SoFar Sounds<\/a>, a music event company that organizes secret, intimate performances featuring artists like Bridges, Ed Sheeran, and Billie Eilish, in addition to up-and-comers<\/a>. Based on that one song, he was asked to play a show a few months later in June. And from that performance, he got an offer to perform at D.C.\u2019s legendary 9:30 Club<\/a> the next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was the venue I had dreamed of since childhood,\u201d Carter says of the place Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> named one of the 10 best live music venues last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

From there, things kept happening. Carter released his first single, \u201cHills,\u201d in August. Then he applied for and won a recording session with Level, a music-distribution platform for independent artists owned by Warner Music. A producer there worked for free with Carter to release his second single, “Cosmic.” His third single, \u201cPush,\u201d was released through the Grammy Award-winning production company House Studios with producer Jake Vicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, Carter transferred within WeWork to his current position in Los Angeles to further his music career. Now, he\u2019s preparing to release four additional songs by the end of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything kind of lined up,\u201d Carter says. \u201cThere were all these moments where it was like \u2018All right, I\u2019m doing what I\u2019m supposed to do.\u2019 I\u2019m just getting put in the right places around the right people and all of this is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Carter followed his dream all the way to Los Angeles where he’s been preparing for his next track and EP release later this summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some of those \u201cright\u201d people include Carter\u2019s WeWork colleagues in Los Angeles. Josh Boyed, a sales lead and childhood friend of Carter\u2019s, helped him write the lyrics on \u201cHills\u201d and the music on \u201cCosmic.\u201d Chris Cashman, a technology lead who runs a management company for creatives called Granite Collective on the side, is Carter\u2019s manager. And Rachel McGowan, a community lead generalist who co-founded the  Unfamous LA Podcast<\/em><\/a> alongside Cashman, interviewed Carter for the series\u2019 second episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he gears up to release his next track, \u201cSeventeen,\u201d on July 23, followed by his EP in August, Carter is feeling optimistic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m just looking to put out as much music as possible, get as much streaming, and as many people to listen to it as possible,\u201d Carter says. \u201cAnyone with a Spotify playlist has the power to make an artist successful. It\u2019s the person who makes the great playlist that people love that gets me to 1 million streams.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to Benjamin Carter\u2019s<\/a> music on any of the major platforms including <\/em>Spotify<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Apple Music<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>SoundCloud<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>YouTube,<\/em><\/a> <\/em>Google Music<\/em><\/a>, and <\/em>Amazon Music<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
