About Benjamin Dickerson

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Like consciousness, we have switches turned on and diffuse culture through art more acutely. Influences like Prince, Nine Inch Nails, INXS, Cyndi Lauper, Run-DMC, PJ Harvey, The Cult, The Cure, Dr. Dre and Depeche Mode turned that switch for me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dr. Dre, The Chronic Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral Explicit Version Prince & The Revolution, Purple Rain The Downward Spiral pairs authenticity with pop and production prowess. Purple Rain is more layered and complex thematically than I feel most people may realize, plus every song is perfect. The Chronic is one of the best albums ever made, period. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Manipulators (Orgy of the Damned)” "Manipulators" is my first love. It was a sea change regarding how I write, arrange & produce, and it showed me that I could manifest my intentions, which changed what I could & would do. It's rough-around-the-edges & weirdly beautiful. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I won awards for my films and scores while in school. Canada doesn't have many support systems for artists, and I grew up poor and was poor when graduating, so I had to shelf my composing and art practices while I worked and continued to. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to continue to make art. I hope that in sharing what I have made so far, I will get the opportunity to create and share even more. And that I can score more films, games, TV and other media. And that I can make more art, films, media and TV.
