Minnesota Association of Christian Songwriters

Benjamin Stokes

1. What instruments (includes voice) do you play?
   At least these: voice, piano, guitars (somewhat), drum set (somewhat).
    

2. Do you write lyrics or music, or both?
   Both.
    

3. What styles of music do you write in?
   Jazz rock, church songs, pop, rock, novelty songs (with a jazzy tendency), blues rock.
    

4. Do you have any recorded music? If so, out with it!
   No.
    

5. Do you have a website?  If so, what is it?
   No.
    

6. Is your music available for purchase online?  If so, where?

   No.
    

7. How far do you want to go with your music at this time? What are your goals?

   I'm focused primarily on writing, but I want to start performing, if only a little, or at least have my music performed, if only a little.

    

8. Are you interested in collaborating with other musicians and songwriters?

   Yes, but they must all be strongly committed to composing to perfection, and great performances, particularly with the vocals.  I seem to be good at making better arrangements of a song somebody else has started, including changing/adding: melodies, music, words, and rhythm.

    

9. Is there anything outside of music that you would like people to know about you?

   I'm somewhat into: acting and writing movie scripts.  I'm interested in writing movie scripts and making movies [and interested in writing movie music (both soundtracks and "actual" songs)].
