The Equinox artwork: a man in a hat sits in a leather armchair with his back to us, looking out from a candlelit room over a Mediterranean bay. The sky is split down the middle, starry night on the left and golden sunset on the right, with a half-moon, half-sun disc between the words Benedict Francis and Equinox.

I Will Dance

I Will Dance is a song about being pushed so far from yourself that you almost disappear, then finding, somewhere beneath the wreckage, that essential part of you that survived.

About

No image, no stage persona, no single sound: just songs, written to fit the voice that brings them to life.

I’m a songwriter first and last, not a performer. My focus is on the craft of the song itself, which is why my music has such a wide range. I don’t have one sound; I write for other voices and a vast variety of genres.

You won’t find my face on a stage or my voice on a mic. My tracks aren’t about building my own brand; they’re about creating a mood or a story that comes fully to life through the right singer.
