About

Hi, I’m Benjamin (Ben) McKelvey, an independent musician blending acoustic and electronic textures to explore new soundscapes. I record, produce, and perform, weaving ideas from contemporary music into engaging studio tracks and live shows.

I also build my brand and online presence, self-marketing content across Instagram, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and X. As a student at The New School studying Contemporary Music, I explore theory, history, psychology, and the business of music, collaborating with fellow artists to push creative boundaries.
