As a composer pianist, Sullivan has a rich musical study heritage that leads directly back to Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven and Haydn.

At 15 years old, Benjamin began his professional piano study under Ginger Hwalek on full scholarship at University of Maine at Orono, later studying with Valentina Kotko, world acclaimed pianists Meng-Chieh Liu (faculty at Curtis Institute of Music) and Samuel Hsu at Cairn University (also under full scholarship).
