We recently connected with Ben Yen and have shared our conversation below.
Ben, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
My childhood neighbor called me one day while I was home from college for Summer break. He told me to come outside. I met him in my front yard & he said “Ben, let’s try to rap.” I agreed & for the rest of the Summer we were writing songs. I had never tried writing/making music before, but I immediately loved it. We went on to record a handful of songs together & from there I was hooked.
appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I’m an independent artist from San Diego. I’ve been releasing music independently for almost 4 years. I think my style stands out from others & I have an easy-going, fun-loving personality.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
One of my biggest goals at this moment in time is to get on tour with a major label artist.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
Seeing other people enjoy my music. It’s a crazy concept to me that people enjoy listening to something that I created. That will forever be the most rewarding aspect of being an artist for me.
