Lorin Benedict is a Californian scat singer who focuses on playing highly structured music in a loose and playful way. Most of his work is loosely centered in jazz.

During the pandemic, he made YouTube videos with Norwegian musicians (including Magne Tormodsæther and Espen Berg), which opened the eyes of many jazz vocalists to a new and unique scat language. He has fascinated jazz singers for years, and now he is finally coming to Trondheim to give a masterclass during Jazzfest!
