Ben Stewart - Session Keys - Luscious Keys, Piano, Synths - London

Ben is an expressive and creative pianist and keys player, and will bring life to any track or production. Ben has played with some of London's top session musicians, and has premium analog synths, microphones and preamps, and a beautiful upright piano to take your project to the next level. He can also produce or remix your track.

Originally from New Zealand, Ben has extensively recorded and toured with artists such as Serebii, Denver Cuss, Len Blake, Dr. Reknaw, HUMMUCIDE, and Isabel Abbott. He has a First-Class Honours degree in Jazz Piano from the New Zealand School of Music, and has been playing professionally for over 10 years now. Now based in London, Ben is cementing himself as an integral part of the scene.

Ben specialises in coming up with creative and tasteful parts to fill in the gaps in your song - he would prefer to play something beautiful rather than flashy. With a strong command of analog synth sound design, a lovely touch on the Yamaha upright piano in his studio, and a Nord & industry standard plugins to cover the warm Rhodes/Wurlitzer side of things, he can fill out your track with layers you didn't know you needed (or keep it sparse of course!).

Ben is an experienced producer, currently releasing his own music under 'Willy Delphia'. He can produce a track from scratch, or remix an existing track. His specialty is house/dance music. On the live side, he currently plays and MDs for Len Blake.

Endorse Ben Stewart - Session Keys

by Arjuna Oakes
I've worked with Ben for the last 6 years. He is an incredibly talented and professional keys player/producer. He's also an accomplished film maker, and we've worked together on live session projects. In both a live and studio context, Ben is a brilliant musician and understands what the project needs. In short, he's a legend.

I've been lucky enough to working with Ben for the last 4 years across a number of different projects, including full live band shows in an MD/keys role, duo performances, recorded live sessions, studio sessions etc! He's an incredibly talented musician with a lot of professional experience. Always reliable with rehearsals, so friendly, and always determined to execute the vision. Can't recommend enough!

I have worked with Ben on many gigs and sessions and he always smashes it. From beautiful solos, tight pocket playing, dope tones, band leadership and good hangs Ben has it all. Hire this man!!

I had Ben sit in on organ for a session for me earlier this year and I couldn’t have been happier with the work he did. It was all recorded live to tape with a brand new band for Ben and he took everything in his stride. The organ on these tracks sound fantastic so get Ben on your recordings ASAP!
