About Benj Pasek
Artist Biography
An Oscar-winning lyricist and Tony- and Emmy-winning composer/lyricist, Benj Pasek is known almost exclusively for the output of his songwriting partnership with Justin Paul. After meeting as fledgling musical theater majors in the mid-2000s, the pair made their Broadway debut with A Christmas Story: The Musical in 2012. Quickly building a reputation for heartfelt lyrics and both wistful and rousing melodies, the duo won their first Oscar for "City of Stars" from La La Land and their first Tony and Grammy Awards for Broadway's Dear Evan Hansen, both in 2017. In another first, they made their debut at the top of the Billboard 200 in 2018 with the soundtrack to the film The Greatest Showman, which featured their original songs. The team completed the EGOT in 2024 with an Emmy for their song "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" from season three of Only Murders in the Building.
