Varas

Benjamin Muñoz Varas is the self-taught producer, singer and songwriter that goes under the moniker Varas. The promising 25-year-old has carved out his own expression in which each song has the melodies to pull you in on first listen and leave a mark on you. Combined with an aesthetic that syncs well with Gen-Z, he brings something fresh and exciting to the contemporary indie scene.

With roots in Chile, Varas grew up in a small town called Götene in Sweden. At the age of 12, he started to play guitar after being introduced to Led Zeppelin by his father who at the time worked as a choreographer and dancer participating in various musicals. Varas’ desire to be on stage was clear from an early age.

Musically, Varas deals in short, solid, almost-pop songs, but pop songs that aren’t afraid to stray into unexpected areas, and taking influences from classic 70s rock, punk, hip-hop, jazz, soul. His signature sound reflects that of a multifaceted artist with references ranging all the way from Queen to Rolling Stones to Tyler, the Creator and Pharrell Williams.
