Meet Ben!
Based out of Olympia, WA

From solo pieces to full-scale orchestral works, I have indulged  myself  in a verity of musical styles. From classical to hip-hop, this openness has allowed me to learn and write within multiple genres. 

​

When I was five I found my love for music within the piano. Over time, I was privileged to add the genres of jazz, blues, and boogie-woogie to my classical studies. In high school I began to hone my craft in composing, through a mixture of short pieces. What started as an interesting hobby, has now ignited and flourished into a passion. 

 

Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Music Composition from Whitworth University in Spokane, WA. After college, I plan to assist in bringing other artist's work to life through transcription.

In the search for a song, arrangement, transcription, jingle, or other musical project? Feel free to send me an email to bkogut22@my.whitworth.edu
