LOVE STORY EP on iTUNES

Benji


Benji was given a guitar for Christmas when he was 11 years old, and...OK, what usually comes next in these bios is, "...and has been writing music ever since, developing a completely unique style..." Well, what actually happened was I played it a couple of times, my fingers hurt, and I did not really pick it up with a true interest until I was 18, in my first semester of college. I toted it along to the dorm and stuck it under the bed in case I had some down time. Well, I ended up having quite a bit of down time that first semester and started fiddling around with the ol' gee-tar. I started liking it, I sucked, but I loved it and I kept strumming, annoying the hell out of my roommates, with no real intention of writing music, but it just gave me something to do. I eventually enrolled in a group lesson the next semester and really learned how to write a song with a guitar, breaking down old Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel classics, and then the words just started flowing. The whole song writing process fascinated me and became therapeutic more than anything, being able to put my thoughts down on paper, and then lift them back up into melodies. In the process I have built up quite a collection of songs.

So, I hope you enjoy it, and keep on the lookout for upcoming shows and future releases. Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to take some peace and love with you on the way out.

paz y amor,

Benji
