Hi, I’m Ben, a freelancer from Melbourne scribbling away for The Music.

Take a glance at my Spotify and catch blink-182, some old-school thrash, modern funk, or Kraftwerk’s Computer Love for the hundredth time.

My work’s been seen in Beat Magazine, Forte Magazine, Artshub, Theatre Travels, Pedestrian, Vice, and a bunch more. If I’m not writing you can find me at a stand-up show or hanging out with my four-legged pal.
