There’s some heat going on with "Nights With Strangers," a song included on my new album "Dance Love Dream." 🕺❤️🌙 I'm excited to shoot the video. We've got a great script ready, and we're looking for guys in the area to be in it. This one's going to be something else... 😜 Have a nice Saturday 😘❤️

With my fabulous dermatologist Dr. Ely Sanchez treating the side effects of my chemo scheme (FOLFIRI). Nothing better than taking care of yourself with beautiful people you connect with ☺️ Happy Friday 😘❤️

I think I will always like this song. I remember one afternoon a guy selling vinyl records came to the club where I was working, and he had this on him. It was a B-side to a rare single, maybe it was a promo, 1984 or 1986. Whenever it comes up, I remember how much I loved it youtu.be/izGwDsrQ1eQ?...

Thank you so much for all your messages and comments yesterday! This year, it was just my husband, @martincortes.bsky.social , a cake, and I celebrating at home. But I never felt alone. You made me feel welcome, and I’ll be forever grateful for that. ❤️ Happy Thursday! 😘❤️

Today’s my birthday 🥳 Chemo’s tough, so I made myself (and you) a gift: my new video “Oh Wow.” First song I wrote after a month in bed last year — I was just so happy to be alive that all I could say was… oh wow! youtu.be/a0rrOxzV9Ao 🕺❤️🌙

I’ve finished the first part of the second round of chemo. 🎉 Doesn’t this seem a bit complicated? I’m looking for better ways to explain it. To celebrate, here’s a recent pic from #behindthescenes🎬 of filming the latest music videos ☺️

Just a quick hello from chemo! The second round is going well. There have been no issues, but I still have a few hours here. A new music video is coming tomorrow, along with my birthday! 🎂🎉 Have you heard my new songs? Check them out: hypeddit.com/bkdream. Happy Tuesday! 😘❤️

Time to see the doctor to prepare for tomorrow’s second round of chemo. Have a great Monday! 😘❤️

I shot some extra scenes for the "Back On Track" music video earlier today. It's coming soon! My new album, Dance Love Dream, is available now everywhere. CD, vinyl, digital, streaming. 🕺❤️🌙 Choose yours: www.benjaminkoll.com/dance-love-d... Happy Sunday! ☺️😘❤️

Well, as I shared yesterday on an update to my post, my outing ended with a trip to the hospital. I'm doing fine now. I'm going to rest for the rest of the day. Please give my new album some love: hypeddit.com/bkdream Thank you very much, and have a great Thursday! ❤️

The new music video is here! ☺️🎉 youtu.be/IVh0gJsBMr0

Another exhausting (but happy) day ends working in the release of my new album. I’m not doing everything on time (I’m only human, and a human in chemo) like sending the newsletter (hoping to do that tomorrow) but had to prioritize…. (Continued next, apologies for the long post but I had to…)

It's out! Dance, Love, Dream! 🕺❤️🌙 hypeddit.com/bkdream I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to release these new songs. I worked on them during every good moment I had, and they kept me company during the worst. I just hope they bring light and joy to your lives as well! Thank you ❤️

My new album is finally here! ☺️ Dance Love Dream 🕺❤️🌙 is now out everywhere! Here are some of the streaming links: hypeddit.com/bkdream Hope it lights your day ☺️❤️

I'm saving my energy to post on Monday about my new album (it's the digital release day!). I'm feeling destroyed by this first round of chemo, but not in the ways I expected. It's more of a stomach problem, and, wow, it's like I'm having birth contractions! 😅😫

Last Monday I came home to this beautiful surprise. The regular edition vinyl of Dance Love Dream 🕺❤️🌙 is here! The special edition is on its way, but until then, let’s enjoy this beauty together. 👉 Links and more: www.benjaminkoll.com/dance-love-d... 🎉 Digital release this Monday! Happy Thursday 😘❤️

The first round of chemo is done! 🎉❤️‍🩹 It's been different from last time. Since Monday afternoon, I've felt like I have a hangover: headache and fatigue, but not bad. The most annoying thing was having to carry the infuser with me at all times. Have a great day! 😘❤️

It all went well! This was way better than the last treatment. I've got two more days of chemo to go, but I'm thrilled that I've finally started. 🎉 Thanks so much for all the replies and messages. You're the best team this guy could have asked for. ❤️ And thanks to Julius for the company today ❤️‍🩹

It may sound strange, but I’m happy to say that I finally started chemo today! ☺️🎉 I had a catheter port installed a little over a month ago, but I was sent home three times because the scar wasn’t completely healed. Today, I was finally able to start, and I’m jumping for joy inside. Happy Monday! 😘❤️

Everything went well at my doctor's appointment! I’m ready for my 1st chemo round on Monday. If all goes well, I’ll have 2 to 6 more months of treatment. They say it will be harder than last time, but I’m happy because hopefully I’ll be closer to getting rid of this nasty cancer. Happy Saturday! 😘❤️

This reminded me of Madrid in 1997 😅🤣 Chueca was so epic back then, not a night without a story.

I came up with almost 30 different ideas for the cover of my new album. This is the 29th. Below, you can see the initial concept art, and one of the unused photos. It was almost finished when @martincortes.bsky.social had a better idea, so I changed everything one last time 😅 Happy Friday 😘❤️

Prompt: A self-portrait of an exhausted but grateful bear man in his fifties whose hair won’t stay in place, no matter how many times you comb it. —- End message. 🥁

💿 I'm on it! I'm signing the Dance Love Dream CDs and preparing them for shipment. 🕺❤️🌙 Thank you so much for the amazing support — every order means the world to me. 👉 www.benjaminkoll.com/dance-love-d... Happy Monday, cosmonauts 🚀😘❤️ #dancelovedream #newalbumalert #picsbybears

Boys and their toys 😜 spending the afternoon with Julius and @martincortes.bsky.social shooting stuff for music videos ☺️ #behindthescenes #dancelovedream

#tbt to 2017 🕰️ This is one of the pictures we took for my first album “Songs For A Better Future” which ended up in the “Once in a Lifetime” book instead. Check out my website, which is currently under renovation: www.benjaminkoll.com. Have a nice Thursday 😘❤️

Yay 😍❤️

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… In my case, it just makes me more perforated. 💉🌵 I used to be terrified of needles. Now I’m basically a cactus. Happy Tuesday 😘❤️

I’ve been keeping a secret… but not for long 😉✨ On September 22, I’ll finally share the music that carried me through some of my hardest days and brightest nights. I hope it will bring you joy, love, and maybe even a little magic too. 🕺❤️🌙

#paella🥘 Sunday ☺️

The premiere is minutes away ☺️ Come join in the chat: youtu.be/1nicSiMrgik

🌞 LOOKING FOR THE SUMMER – Premieres tomorrow A visual tale of sacred ruins, golden skies, and portals across dimensions. Music and visuals made at home, with heart, intuition… and a cookie box as a tripod. 🎬 World premiere: Saturday 23rd – 11:30 AM (Mexico time) 📍 youtu.be/1nicSiMrgik

#tbt to 2021, when I released my album and book, Once in a Lifetime. I made them during the pandemic as a tribute to the friends we lost. They're about finding light in solitude and navigating a strange new world. They're a blast, too! 🤩 Check out www.benjaminkoll.com/once-in-a-li...

A new music video and album announcement are imminent! This will be the last video I make for older songs for now. I’ll focus on making at least two videos for the new songs before starting chemo. Busy bear! Have a great Thursday! ☺️😘❤️

Earlier today I was thinking… 💭 if Michael Jackson was alive today he’d sure be releasing the first successful duet with a language model avatar… or something like that. I know it’s a touchy subject but I can’t help but think it’s more useful to always embrace and make the best out of progress. ❤️

I’m rewatching #cougartown so @martincortes.bsky.social can discover and enjoy it for the first time. There’s nothing like a good sitcom to lighten the mood. ☺️ Have a nice Wednesday! 😘❤️ #picsbybears #selfmotivation

Well, f**k! Another delay. I’ll now start chemo on Sept 1st due to swelling on the catheter. It’s been a painful morning, literally. Nurses were poking me, trying to put the needle in. I’ll distract myself by working on the new music video I’m editing. Have a great Tuesday! 😘❤️

Music, it’s all about the music 😉 Latest videos and links 👉 linktr.ee/benjaminkoll Happy Monday 😘❤️ #picsbybears #musicbybears

I was going to say something, but then I remembered that I still have ice cream in the fridge. 🤪 Let’s spend the weekend together 👉 linktr.ee/benjaminkoll Happy Saturday 😘❤️ #picsbybears

Visualize the shot first 🤔 Working on a new music video 🎬 Have a great Friday 😘❤️ #picsbybears #musicbybears #indieartistmusic #indiefilmmaking #musicvideography
