SUM SUN

Nick Benton and Ilan Pomerance are the creative forces behind SUM SUN, an electro-pop and indie-pop band making waves on the music scene with their nostalgic, feel-good "hopebeat" sound. Known for their catchy lyrics and genre-blurring artistry, SUM SUN has quickly gained attention, climbing the charts and drawing packed crowds to iconic venues like Webster Hall, Bowery Ballroom, The Brooklyn Mirage in NYC, and Hotel Café in LA. Their live performances, backed by a full band, are electrifying and unifying, leaving fans dancing in the neon glow. Benton, a Jersey Shore native, began making a name for himself in the music industry as early as 17, co-writing and producing tracks for major artists. His talent quickly earned him a Top 10 debut on the Billboard charts and collaborations with major labels like Sony Music Group and Ultra Records. Around the same time, Ilan was building his own career as a co-writer and producer for artists under Sony Music Entertainment and other renowned labels. Since their 2022 debut, SUM SUN has captivated a global following with deeply personal songwriting and a unique blend of electro-pop and indie-pop, earning them recognition as People’s Emerging Artist of 2023 and praise from outlets like Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV, and Sirius XM. Their breakout hit “Memory,” a collaboration with BONNIE X CLYDE, surpassed 10 million streams and earned them their first Billboard chart appearance. On November 8, 2024, SUM SUN releases their anticipated 6-track EP, Lose My Mind. With over 25 million streams in just two years, and collaborations with artists like OneRepublic, Jonas Brothers, and producers like Josh Varnadore and Aaron Gillespie, SUM SUN is shaping the future of indie-pop.
