About Me

hi i'm Ben. I'm a college kid. A musician. A music major. This is my music project alightfantastic. I have two old demo songs posted and if you would like to download them.

After having written and composed at least 12 songs in the recent months, I've decided that my focus and money is required elsewhere. Such as finishing my music degree and pursuing other various goals that intertwine with that. So I'm taking a break from the alightfantastic for an unknown amount of time.
