I'm Tex Bénèche — artist, entrepreneur, and builder based in Kissimmee, Florida.
I've been making music for years. Most of it has never been heard. That changes now.
I don't work with labels. I don't chase DSP playlists. I built my own direct-to-fan platform so the music reaches you without a middleman taking the margin and the data.
Every dollar you spend here goes directly to the work. And if you share it, you get 30% back — forever.
Manifesto coming soon
I have a criminal record.
I'm not hiding it. I'm putting it here on the front page.
I came from a difficult background, made serious mistakes, and paid for them. I'm currently filing a pro se motion for early termination of felony probation in Florida.
This isn't performative transparency. It's just reality. My past is part of my story. It does not define the work.
The music speaks for itself. That's why it's free to sample.
The first 100 people to unlock anything on this platform become Founding Supporters — permanently.
That means 35% affiliate commissions forever — higher than the standard 30% base tier. The rate locks in and never expires, regardless of how many referrals you have.
You also get listed on the Founders Wall.
The catalog is real. 6+ albums recorded. Unreleased for a long time. Now available here, directly, at prices you control.
Free albums are free. Paid albums are pay-what-you-want with a floor. No subscription. No algorithm. Just the music and the relationship.
Start anywhere. Press play. No account required.
TexBeneche.com isn't a typical artist site. It's a direct-to-fan music economy.
Every person who unlocks an album gets a personal affiliate link. Share it. When someone buys through your link, you earn 30% — forever.
Commission tiers
PayPal direct. $25 minimum to request payout. No platform cut on your earnings.
I'd rather pay my listeners than pay an algorithm.
RIAA certifications are for labels. IMR is for independent artists with direct relationships.
Every album tracks both revenue and paid-supporter milestones. When an album crosses both thresholds for a tier, it earns an IMR certification — Steel ($1K + 50 supporters), Titanium ($5K + 150), Palladium ($20K + 400), up to Osmium ($10M + 75K).
Each supporter gets a certificate. Every milestone generates shareable graphics. The system auto-notifies every person who helped build it.
Beyond the music, I run Rizq Labs AI LLC — a software company building infrastructure for communities who need it.
Separate from this platform. Same work ethic. Same no-bullshit approach.
I'm not trying to go viral.
I'm building something that lasts. Music that matters. Systems that work without me.
If you're here, you're early. That counts for something.
Press, partnerships, funding, or just to say something real.
