Benny Dayal (Malayalam: ബെന്നി ദയാൽ,பென்னி தயாள் ) is an Indian singer who hails from Kerala. He is a member of the band S5 launched by the channel SS Music.[1] He made his acting debut in the Malayalam movie 'By The People' and showed his charm as an actor as well along with his 'S5 Partners'. The flick was a suspense thriller and all the songs were sung by S5 members and it was during that time when A.R. Rahman noticed him, took an audition and as they say rest is history.

Benny Dayal has got many more upcoming projects in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam languages as far as his singing is concerned. After churning out some hit numbers of A.R. Rahman, he is well on his way to become a permanent singer to be featured in his upcoming films as well and it's a momentary achievement.

Benny worked as an Events Coordinator with RR Donnelley. He quit his job in BPO to accomplish his career with music.[4]
