About Me

/Who Am I

Hi there! My name is Ben and I’m a songwriter based in Athens, Greece. After letting life get in the way for almost two decades, I decided to start recording the songs I had written and left in the drawer for many years. I am old-school so I try to keep things simple, in my music, my recordings, and the whole songwriting process. My youTube channel is dedicated to helping creative people get back in the game of creating. I’m figuring it out on the way.merchantcircle.com

My purpose is to Play-Create-Inspire. Ferris Bueller said “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” He was right. However, it’s never too late to get back in touch with your creative self. Follow me and Let’s make some music!
