about

These songs are a compilation of short form ideas, loops, & sketches I’ve created in attempts of forging my own musical path.

Over the years, my own insecurities & overthinking led me to keep everything to myself, hidden away from where anyone could react. But recently, I’ve been realizing that life & time is precious and the only shame would be to never pass along these musical moments I’ve been given.

Sharing these songs is my attempt to showcase that art & creativity can still exist, even in their most raw & unrefined forms. Many of these moments will never happen again, and in many respects, are no longer “mine” to hold onto.

Thank you for listening,

-ben
