Meet Ben Kessler, an indie singer-songwriter whose self-produced debut Cruise Control EP, released in March 2021, helped blaze a path from intimate home-recording to widely respected collaborations. A key early breakthrough came through collaborations with Lizzy McAlpine on the tracks Reckless Driving (2022) and I Think I (2021). Ben’s work also drew attention from the broader alt-pop community when Mike Shinoda remixed his track Known Like This, a milestone highlighted by Paper Magazine. As he moves into 2025, Ben’s releases continue to push melodic storytelling into new directions across a string of singles and EPs distributed by Ditto Music and VYB.
