Ben J. Ko
Producer / Engineer / Multi-Instrumentalist / Co-Writer
I’m a multi-instrumentalist, cellist, co-writer, and co-producer. Some of the people I’ve recorded for include Jenny and Tyler, Caleb J. Murphy, TyDi, Karaoke Cloud, Graham Cochrane, Doug Kaufman, and NoMaD (Charles Kossivi). I would love to hear about your project!
I create:
- layered harmonies on the cello
- folky fingerstyle acoustic guitar
- ambient electric guitar and keyboard textures through pedals
- warm organic live drum multitracks
Genres: I’m pretty versatile, but my home genres that I love are lofi-indie-folk-pop-songwriter-alternative-ccm.
Interests: I enjoy writing my own songs/compositions as well when I have the time, woodworking, and fish keeping.
