BIO

Hi! I’m Ben and I am a NJ/NYC based singer, actor, and proud mover. I was born and raised in New Jersey to a family who had a great love and appreciation for music and theatre. When I found my true passion for musical theatre, my parents signed me up for youth theatre and I never looked back. I then performed in numerous productions both through school and youth theatres. I even performed in an all-male acapella group called The Bro Squad. The summer before my high school graduation, I was fortunate enough to be selected to attend the Northwestern Theatre/Musical Theatre Cherubs program. There, I received training from both up-and-coming performers as well as seasoned veterans. The following year, I began my training at Montclair State’s BFA Musical Theatre program and was known around campus as Skylar Astin’s doppelganger. At MSU, I was able to hone in on who I am as a performer with the support of many wonderful professors and mentors.
