I am Ben Lorentzen.

I am thrilled that you are here – because we are a lot alike, you and I!

We are both passionate about the music we chose to listen to.

Music has to mean something to you, it has to make you feel something,

it has to provoke your thinking.

I create music that makes my hair stand up!

I think that people around me want the same, so I make sure to put the best

I can into writing a song that will provoke an opinion, a feeling, a thought.

My philosophy is:

If you don’t feel it, don’t play it.

I bet it’s the same for you.

Why play it if you don’t feel it?

Below you can sign up to my email list. In return you will et a song from my new album “Pains & Pleasures of Intimacy”

It is a song called “Dead Man in the Closet”.

It’s a song that is part of a 4 video series. That is right. I create a video series to support my new album. It’s a story about a priest and his complete failure at life.

Here is what some have said about my music

America CD Cover PHYS 1187x1000

HUFFINGTON POST:
“The intensity of his spirit paired with his musical prowess
creates an evocative combination that will make this album soar.”
PAPERCUT MAGAZINE:
“The New Jersey singer-songwriter possesses the spellbinding quality
held by legends Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and Elliot Smith: in his music lies a raw
introspectiveness that’s difficult not to feel connected to.”
THY DEMON SCRIBLINNG: 
“I really can’t recommend this one highly enough to you.”
SPEAK INTO MY GOOD EYE

“Dead Man in the Closet”

In case you wondered...

Norway 2

… I come from one of the most dramatic places on the planet;

Norway!

I saw my first northern light when I was 5 years old.

I understand why it is top 5 on people’s bucket list.

Maybe yours too?

I think experiences like seeing the Northern Lights forms you.

It certainly shaped my music.

It’s dramatic, dark, quiet and beautiful.

I sense similar forces in the music of Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell, just to mention a few.
