Bio
Ben Lear grew up in Los Angeles with a loving family and a view of the ocean. When he was ten years old, he found a guitar at his friend’s house and began picking the open strings.
Fast forward to today. Ben Lear recently graduated NYU’s Music Composition program. He has fallen in love with orchestral music and the effect those colors have on his songwriting. And from that love, he has composed a folk-opera entitled, Lillian, about a man, who must scuba dive to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to reclaim all he’s lost in his life.
The show premiered on May 21st to a sold-out crowd at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC. Following the performance, Fox News invited Ben to appear on its program, Strategy Room.
On March 1st, 2011, Lillian: A Folk Opera was released as an album via Underwater Sounds and is now available on iTunes as well as many other online stores.
