On his Facebook page BENJAMIN CLEMENTINE states:
My story is not long, but i think and feel that i have been here before; So it seems quite long. You all know and if you don’t know, well I have been independent almost all of my time here, trying to find a way to tell you how i feel and the things i have encountered through it all. With a book, thoughts, a pen, an instrument and my voice and a little bit of paint, I have managed to conjure up something that you and me find quite pleasing and through your help and support, i have begun to attract a bigger audience.
My goal is not that, but that someone will remember i touched them to do something they felt proud off.
I thought from my perspective that with the desire for authenticity, I could express myself much better and probably discover my various strengths in what i can do. The art we see is just an extensions to the art we cannot see, and I realized that at a certain point we cannot do it all by ourselves even if we could and that someone`s hands could bring someones else to the place you want to take them; hence I am proud to announce to you all that i have partnered with Virgin EMI Records and Barclay Universal with my independent record label Behind.
