Ben Folds

Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation.

The Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter-composer has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records.

His latest album What Matters Most was released this summer to rave reviews and sold-out performances.

He currently tours as a pop artist, while also performing with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, and serving as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC.

A New York Times Best Selling author and podcast host, Ben is also working on new compositions for film, tv and theatre. He also frequently guest stars in films and TV.

In 2022, Ben launched a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Keys,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that provide free or affordable music lessons to interested school-age children. And he continually advocates for improving public policies for the arts and arts education on the national level as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund.
