BENin10D

"BENin10D", a musical artist originally from New Orleans, Louisiana is now become a professional composer and song writer. BENin10D is a member of BMI, and as of date of this Bio has over 50 original compositions to his name. We all hear of those "Overnight successes", which has been heard more than once when referring to BENin10D, however, BENin10D under his given name retired from Live Nation Concert Promotions, after a very eventful, exciting and blessed career as a concert, event & tour promoter for 25+ years, enjoying working relationships with almost every major music artist of almost every genre for all those years. As Director of Production and Promoter "BENin10D" has traveled the world promoting, preparing and making sure each show he worked on was as perfect as he could make it. So the music Industry is no New Toy to Benin10D, he has seen, heard and done probably more in his previous career than most new artist today will ever get to experience in their new career.

"BENin10D presently has 2 CD's published and on the market, the FIRST CD is a self entitled work of acoustic/vocal compositions and the SECOND CD, entitled BENSTRUMENTALS, which is an energetic collection of all instrumentals.

"BENin10D", can be found all over the internet and there is a great reason why, BENin10D is a writer more than a performer, even though he can perform any one of his compositions at any given time and has performed many times over the years and unknowingly to the public, performed as a member of MANY national acts, as a sit in for other guitarist. Being a writer in this century is a new science and involves many, many new technologies and the song business today is completely different than it was when BENin10D first entered the music industry many years ago.

Unlike decades past, music licensing has changed so much and depends so much on the world wide web than ever before. Today when music buyers for films, TV and other media projects are looking for the perfect music for their project, chances are, even though they may use a music service such as TAXI.com or ARSelect.com, they search and explore the internet and find a small obscure artist with a small unique piece of music, not heard by the "BIG DOGS" and they license that piece of music from that artist and often times depending on the project, residuals the artist can often make very good money and never have played a single lick of music in public before.

BENin10D was hit by another motorists while stopped at a red light a little over 2 years ago, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, however, from what we see it has not slowed him down much. He always has an upbeat attitude and is always taking on new projects that people think he surely should not and yet, he not only takes them on, he succeeds at every project he takes on. One of the first things BENin10D will tell you is that he does not do any of this or feel this positive attitude all by himself, he gives credit where credit is due. BENin10D shares that GOD, his wife and some of his very close friends give him the motivation and support he needs to get up and face the world with the attitude so many of us see everyday, he mentions people like Tony Ruffino, who unfortunately passed away last year and went on to heaven to be back with Jimi Hendricks and the Gang, Gary Weinberger, Michael Rapino, Michael Trucks, Brian OcConnel, Toby Keith, David Milam and of course TK to mention a few. BENin10D was recognized in 2008 and 2009 as finalist in the VH1 Song of The Year competition with 2 of his songs and he continues to write and record almost every day as well as continue work on his book, which he shares is approximately 75% complete.
