Benjamin Flores Jr

When Benjamin Flores first started rapping, his father didn’t think too much about it, but when people started appreciating and complimenting him, he decided to put him in the ‘New Daisy Theatre Talent Show’in which he emerged as the winner. Word got around and his popularity increased and that is how his Memphis agent, Marcus Shaw came to know about him. Shaw called him up and little Benjamin rapped to him about God and education. That impressed Shaw so much that he asked Benjamin to meet him in Atlanta two days later. His “swag” stood out and Shaw immediately called Meda Leacock, who worked for Puff Daddy and other high profile rappers. Shaw bought her a plane ticket and flew her to Atlanta to meet the boy. Just like Shaw, she too was blown away by his rapping skills and without further ado signed on as his New York agent. Soon after,a local news channel broadcast about him and made him a national star which in turn caught the attention of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ producers. At age seven, Flores sang ‘You Might Be the One for Me,’an original love rap. Ellen found him charming and the audience went wild. After that, producers fromthe Cartoon Network and the movie ‘Happy Feet 2’ approached him. He won the role of Atticus, a rapping penguin in the film. After this, there was no looking back for the talented boy. Flores also appeared in an episode of the TBS sitcom ‘Are We There Yet?’His biggest role to date is his role as Louie Preston in the Nickelodeon shows ‘The Haunted Hathaways’ and ‘The Thundermans.’ Apart from this he has starred in other projects such as ‘Ride Along’, ‘Santa Hunters’, ‘One Crazy Cruise’ and ‘Henry Danger.’ On June 13, 2016, Flores was announced as the new voice of Gerald Johanssen in ‘Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.’ He is currently working on the Nickelodeon show ‘Game Shakers’ where he plays one of the main characters called Triple G.

Even though he is merely a child, his skill with wordplay and his acting prowess is anything but childish and juvenile. He has such a charming and mature personality that he can easily mingle with anybody and everybody whether children or even grown-ups. By his own admission, whenever he goes on Facebook he gets a lot of good responses from other kids and people love his songs and also love watching his shows. He is considered an inspiration to many because of the success he has achieved and earned at such a tender age through sheer hard work and determination.

Despite having achieved so much success and popularity at such a young age, the lad is very down-to-earth and sweet-natured. He loves mingling with people of all age groups and strives to be a good role model to those kids who idolize him.
