Bennett Paster

About Me

Howdy! I am keyboardist, composer and producer Bennett Paster from Brooklyn, NY. I have performed original music at clubs, concerts and festivals in the United States, the Caribbean, and throughout Europe. I am fluent in pop/rock, jazz and Latin styles. I am equally at home on acoustic piano, vintage keyboards, Hammond organ and synthesizers, and I love working in the studio as a producer and an engineer. I thrive playing in many contrasting groups- I can’t choose just one style of music. I always try to find the most appropriate sound to bring to any song or project. My motto is: "serve the song.”
