To contact me, look on the gram for benji.s.c
I've grown up around UK reggae and hip hop scenes, working in the music industry as a video director. I grew up playing blues-y lead guitar, funky rhythm guitar, and finger-style guitar. Since coming to the US in 2014, I have picked up the sax and become a professional mixing engineer at Trilogy Sound Studio. I love all of these things. I recently played keys/organ and sax in a touring reggae band in Minneapolis, and guitar in some soul/RnB bands in DC.
