Ben Shippee was born into a very musical family, all be it of the non-famous variety. Beginning with piano lessons in elementary school, then later saxophone, and now guitar, Ben has been making music his entire life.

Ben began writing songs when he was eighteen, and since then he has never stopped writing and playing music. It is infact his passion. He has described writing music as a need he has, not just something he does. Ben is a songwriter and story teller with a uniquely down to earth style. The listener is left not wondering but knowing, that somewhere, sometime, what they just heard actually happened... even if it didn't. There is a tone and a wisdom about the writing that makes Ben's music very approchable.

Recently, Ben has worked with Billboard award-winning songwriter and producer Mark Eddinger in an attempt to further strengthen his music. He is currently in the recording studio working on tracks for a future release.
