About Benjamin
I’m the lead guitarist, co-founder and bandleader of a 9-piece live hip-hop band in Boston. We have a monthly residency at a prestigious venue in Cambridge and will be going on tour this summer.
I graduated from Berklee College of Music in May of 2017 with a Bachelor’s in Music Performance and a minor in Music Production. I have been playing guitar for over 10 years and have learned a variety of styles through that time. These include rock, alternative, blues, jazz, fusion, R&B, hip-hop and funk.
One of the reasons I have pursued music so passionately is my first private teacher from whom I took lessons from the ages of 11-17. He was able to strike a balance between playing for fun and learning concepts on the guitar that I use to this day.

I want my students to enjoy what they learn in my lessons to the point where they are excited to practice and learn more. I will cater my lessons to each student, building a curriculum that is both fun and rewarding while being completely unique to that student. I welcome all ages and skill levels and am looking forward to helping my future students achieve their musical goals however I can.
