About Me

Iam Benjamin Weston I sing,play guitar,write songs and like to record and perform them with the help of my band (BENJAMIN WESTON BAND) and also sometimes on my own.
I now live in the Kansai region of Japan but Iam orginally from Buckinghamshire, England, where I was brought up on and inspired by the music of Elvis Presley, Billy Joel and all sorts of UK and USA 50's rock and roll and 60's pop .
In the early to mid 1990's I was inspired by the new wave of music that was coming through such as bands like Green Day,Weezer and other various bands, and after hearing these I formed my first band and was soon writing,recording and performing live.
I was singer of power-pop band THE BOMBJACKS and after years of writing,recording,touring and performing, I then begun writing material for my solo album 'IT'S 7AM SOMEWHERE'. Check out my songs and let me know what you think, Iam going to record some new stuff soon and will let y'all know when it's up. Also website coming soon.
