CITN has previously announced, that the Cayman Islands will take part in the seventeenth Own Americavision Song Contest, after their successful eighth place from the last edition. Today on 18th December of 2023, the official entry for the contest was revealed.BENJAMIN CARTER Benjamin Carter, a Caribbean-American hailing from both the Cayman Islands as a child and then to Washington DC as he grew older, is a singer-songwriter passionate about writing vulnerable music that takes everyone’s walls down including his own.
Benjamin self-describes his journey with songwriting and performing as what it looks like to be a "first generation child of the internet" or more specifically “YouTube”. As a kid living in the Caribbean, Benjamin recalls vividly, what it felt like to finally log onto Youtube at its start and watching Japanese Anime with English subtitles, while watching Compilation Soccer videos and Anime videos exposing him for the first time to bands like Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, Crossfade, Fort Minor and more. This all while watching music videos for the first time at his fingertips by 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Lil Jon’s "Snap Yo Fingers", and Chris Brown’s "Run It". All this while living on a 28 mile long Island, where his father was a choir director, youth pastor, and band teacher and his native Caymanian family were playing their favorite artists in their favorite genre - Country - with artists like Shania Twain, Rascal Flatts, and Reba in the car rides around the island.
Benjamin is a musician and entrepreneur who uses his music now to tell stories – heartache and love, addiction and gentrification, even tapping into the years of racial oppression he’s faced – in hopes of developing artists of the next generation to do the same. His desire in all his songwriting is tap into his exposure of varying genres encouraging the next generation of artists and songwriters to write songs not based on genre - but based on which instruments, melodies, vocal performance techniques, sonically help to best capture the message of the song they are delivering.
Benjamin has performed at the legendary 9:30 Club and on his second single ever had the opportunity to collaborate with LEVEL (Warner Music distribution) which led to recording and releasing "Cosmic" with Warner Chapelle producer Andy Seltzer ( Chelsea Cutler, Maggie Rogers, Valley, Fletcher, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League). Most recently Benjamin Carter has worked with artist and producers Tim Atlas and Jesse Barrera to write produce and mix songs like "Fragile" featuring Appleby, "Time Again", and "Psycho". Each song having received accolades from New Music Friday to NPR RADIO play.
He is very proud to represent his home nation, the Cayman Islands, at the upcoming Own Americavision Song Contest 17 with the song "Hands Up (DON'T SHOOT!)".HANDS UP (DON'T SHOOT!) TIMESLOT Good luck!

CONFIRMATIONS ARE CLOSEDThe confirmations for the 17th edition of Own Americavision Song Contest are closed. 48 nations stated their intention to compete, which means there will not be a quarter-final. The nations that failed to state their intentions will receive a 15% warning percentage, these being American Samoa, Colombia, Greenland, Haiti, Northern Mariana Islands, Paraguay and Peru. Since Peru has not posted anything during the confirmations in the past 2 editions, the nation will become free starting with next edition and will be placed in a draw. The standby users who have submitted their entries will be placed in the competition if someone will fail to submit their entries in time.
With that being said, this is the last post from 2023, so we wish you a great and warm 2024 and see you next year.
