Hey!! I’m Benjy, I’m 19 and one of the co-founders of Soundshots. Right now, I’m working in the Disney College Program and with Universal Studios Entertainment while pursuing Acting and Film in college. As a working actor and creative I aspire to continue acting and creating for the rest of my career. My life at the moment has basically been a mix of gigs, projects, and creative chaos. I’m lucky that the things that inspire most of my creative endeavors also tend to be the things that ground me as a human being, one of them being music. 

     Finding new music and sharing music with friends is something I’ve always described of being a love language of mine. The artists I connect with shape so much of who I am, some of my favorites currently include Wallows, The Backseat Lovers, Lorde, and Paramore! 

     I started going to concerts and local shows more regularly starting in late 2022, and it changed my life. The music I’ve found, the people I’ve met, and the experiences I’ve had in the Florida scene became such an important part of my young adulthood. Getting to bring Soundshots back to life with Celeste and Louise—and to design this website and our Fangirl magazine has been a dream. It’s given me a space to blend my passion of creating and storytelling with my love for music and then give back to the very community that’s inspired me deeply. 

     I’m beyond honored to be part of this—and I can’t wait to keep collaborating with our community and sharing your stories.
