Both Benjamin Hackett and Mia Cioffi knew they were called to be singer songwriters, but their gifting did not come into full bloom until they wrote their first song together after taking the advice of a mutual friend. Since that day, nearly four years ago, the duo's passion for singing, song writing and music making has grown and continues to flourish with the release of their debut album - The Carousel of Life. Benjamin and Mia, wrote, arranged, performed, recorded and produced the entire album themselves from their home studios. The Carousel of Life showcases their poetic, positive, thoughtful and reflective writing style, which is enhanced by the duo’s vocal ability with beautiful, rich and unique harmonies. This is paired with well thought-out instrument arrangements creating a whimsical, sweet and smart musical style that is unique to them. In live performances the characteristic elements of their music shine through and capture audiences attention while provoking them to self-reflection.
