Don Benjamin placed eighth in "America's Next Top Model" cycle 20.

In "America's Next Top Model" cycle 22 episode 10 titled "The Girl Who Became Bootyful," Tyra Banks asked the remaining finalists to shoot a music video for her new product line called Tyra Beauty. The special guest during the episode was "ANTM" cycle 10 finalist Don Benjamin.

After the episode, Benjamin told TMZ that Banks is supportive of the "ANTM" alums' careers. He said he had nothing but fond memories from the modeling competition.

Currently, Benjamin is focusing on his music career and it appears that he can get help from Banks who recently told Forbes that she always loved music.  

Not many of the "ANTM" fans that four of the 21 previous winners of Banks' modeling competition are musicians, as well.

4.  "ANTM" cycle 18 winner Sophie Sumner, 25

After winning "ANTM" cycle 18 in 2012, Sumber released a single titled "Aiming For You" on iTunes.

2. "ANTM" cycle 7 winner CariDee English, 31

After winning "ANTM" cycle 7 in 2006, English landed some acting roles. However, not many of her fans are aware that she is also a drummer who performs with celebrity DJ Lindsay Luv and DJ Zeke Thomas.

1.      "ANTM" cycle 17 winner Lisa D'Amato, 33

Among the "ANTM" alums, D'Amato is the most successful musician.  She joined "ANTM" cycle 5 in 2005 but only placed sixth. In 2009, she released her debut album titled "La Puchinetta."
