I'm a rockstar and I like music!

About Me


My name is Benji Meeks and I started playing drums when I was 3 years old. I bought my first kit, a little Pacific, with Christmas and birthday money I saved. I'm 7, now, and I've outgrown my first kit. I've played live for over 30,000 people. In February 2007, I got to play on ABC when my family was on 'Wife Swap'. Over 8 million people saw me play on TV. My parents bought me a Tama Swingstar after we did the show. They play in the band, 3 Kisses, and I get to play a lot of shows with them. Their drummer, Tim, lives with us and gives me free lessons. I'm also starting to write music and I'm going to record one of my songs and get it up here soon. I want to get my own band together with some of my friends and play my own gigs. It's fun playing in my parents band, but I want to do my own thing. My mom is helping me out with my MySpace, but I will be the one answering anyone who writes to me.I also like to skateboard, ride my bike, swim, play basketball, play video games and watch movies. My favorite movies right now are Blade and Blade 2. I love vampires!Here's a list of the gigs I've played with my mom and dad:
