I am a solo artist who has been in many bands, but have found myself to be more comfortable on my own. I realised this when my voice began to change and I could no longer" Rock out like I used to". But that has only made me stronger and brought me to this tender but hopeful stage in my song writing career.
( By the way the picture is me as a nun).

Why this name?
I chose this name purely based on my nickname, at school I was regarded as rather cultural so my mates named me Bensoine ( very stereotypical, but has a nice ring to it).
Do you play live?
On the odd occasion I do play live at functions and street theatre, but nothing really serious.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Depending on who you ask,The reaction will be Different. But I strongly believe that for an Unsigned artist its wonderful to have the internet as a tool to be heard. But for any artist big or small thats trying to make a living its horrible because they deserve to get the respect aswell as the cash, Which In MOST cases is hard earned.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeh for sure, it has been my dream for a long time to " get my big break", but I feel im going to have to work hard to get there.
Band History:
Not much really to say here that hasnt already been said. Ill say again ive been doing this since I was about 16 ( seriously that is).So not that long, but im just getting started .
Your influences?
There are many, But the main couple are: Bob Dylan, Chet Baker,Zeppelin,Xavier Rudd ( Aussie boy), early foo fighters, and Kenny Burrel. Just to name a few
Favorite spot?
My favorite spot would have to be Florence, Italy.
Equipment used:
Nothing to crash hot, Maton Electric 503 model ( Aussie Brand)Marshall amp, Big muff pedal, DS1 Boss, and various acoustics.
Anything else...?
Enjoy the tracks, I know ive enjoyed putting them together.
