Benjamin Denen

My musical journey began when I took my first piano lesson at age eight. Two years later I received my first guitar, and there was no looking back. Music became my passion. By age twelve, I was playing guitar at church, and at sixteen, I started playing jazz professionally, learning to share my love of music with others.

After high school, I studied commercial music at Belmont University in Nashville, TN, and had the opportunity to travel the country playing music with numerous artists and bands. After graduating from college, I left Nashville to pursue a career in church ministry. Since then, I have also had the opportunity to compose scores for numerous projects and documentaries. Whether playing on stages across the country, writing music for film, or serving in a local church, I have found that music is a universal language with the power to bring people together. My lifelong love of that language is what has drawn me to Sweetwater, a place I feel at home.
