Drawing from years in bands, orchestras, and as a sideman for major pop acts, Ben brings a deep understanding of musical collaboration to his work writing music for film and television.
Raised just outside Detroit, he came up through orchestras, jazz ensembles, pit bands, and rock groups, most notably with Blue Note Records artist Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas, earning recognition across the city’s diverse music scene.
After moving to Los Angeles, he toured globally with Selena Gomez, Noah Cyrus, Liz Phair, and others, with appearances on Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and more.
Ben’s recent credits include Netflix’s Seaspiracy (#1 in 31 countries), Paramount+’s Nöthin’ But a Good Time (dir. Jeff Tremaine), Audible’s The King of the Peso (starring Harvey Guillén), Wondery’s The Lesser Dead (with Minnie Driver & Jack Kilmer), and numerous global ad campaigns. More projects are set to release in 2025 and beyond.
