When it comes to thoroughness, attention to melody, harmony, groove sonic deliciousness, Benjy King is one of the few producers that I would trust with a music project, especially for artists that are adventurous and want to discover new musical frontiers while being presented as the best artist he/she can be. Will Lee – Bassist/David Letterman Show

 
 

I worked with Benjy King for eight years. He is the most musical and inventive producer that I have ever worked with. He is wonderful at nurturing an artist and guiding him/her through the demanding process of creating commercially successful music.

I've known Benjy King for over 20 years and he has been one of the most influential and inspiring people in my life. I would not be in this business if it were not for him. When I think of Benjy as a musician or producer, genius comes to mind. When I think of him as an engineer, well, he rates up there with some of the best. To have him as a close friend and mentor, I couldn't be more blessed. Benjy is one of the most talented guys on this planet and would be an asset to have on your roster. Andrew Coleman - Grammy Award Winning Engineer/Mixer Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Mary J Blige, Beyonce, The Neptunes.

 

Versatility is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Benjy King. He is one of finest musicians, engineers and producers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His energy is infectious and his abilities are boundless. Bobby Guy Graziose - Musician/Producer

 

Benjy King is a true artist's producer. He gives 150% of his spirit, energy and attention to detail to every project he puts his name on. A gifted musician with a passion for capturing the perfect record, Benjy brings his artist's a wealth of experience, his undying love for music and his zest for life. Paul Umbach - Producer/Writer Nashville, TN

 

Over the years I have had many opportunities to record with Benjy King in various settings. I say various settings because he is such a very well rounded producer/engineer who is comfortable, and extremely creative, working in Rock & Roll, Jazz, Pop, R&B and Country. Over the years Benjy and I have found ourselves side by side at the console listening to playback so many times that we have an almost telepathic way of communicating with each other. More to the point, he seems to know EXACTLY what needs to be done after each listen. He possesses an uncanny knowledge of what to do, in every situation, to bring the music of the moment up a few notches. "Let's change the kick drum pattern here," or "David, play that bass note up an octave on beat three of the verse," or, "let's change the mic on the snare and run it again guys". These are the kinds of things that cannot be overlooked when assessing someone's contributing force during an important recording. Benjy is the man! David Santos - Bassist Crosby Stills & Nash, John Fogerty, Billy Joel, Elton John, Phoebe Snow, The Neville Brothers, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett

 
 

I have worked with Benjy King for over 20 years, as his engineer, and also had the pleasure of performing with him. He is an accomplished musician, producer, engineer, arranger, and vocalist and knows how to get things done. As a producer he has found and developed raw talent bringing them to the next level. I always look forward to a session with Benjy at Red Rock Recording Studio. Kent Heckman – Owner/ Engineer/ Red Rock Recording Studio, Pocono Mts. PA

 

Benjy King is a producer who goes far above and beyond the call of duty. He doesn't know how NOT to care. He does whatever it takes to make sure his client's records are something they will be proud of for years to come. Joel Hoekstra – Guitarist/Night Ranger/New York session player

 

I have known Benjy King for many years, and have worked with him in all kinds of situations as a fellow musician, a music director/conductor, and producer/engineer. I’ve always considered Benjy a consummate hands-on  music producer, equally at home with complex musical arrangements, the technical nuts and bolts of modern recording/engineering, and the people skills to deal with anything that comes his way in terms of artists, musicians, and business people. Benjy is comfortable with a wide variety of pop and rock musical genres, and I’ve always known him to be a very hard worker, who never settles for less than the best performance from himself and his colleagues. Crispin Cioe - Sax player/composer/producer (co-founder of the Uptown Horns, toured with the Rolling Stones on “Steel Wheels”, solo on James Brown’s “Living in America”, Music Director of the Mark Twain Awards for PBS/Kennedy Center, etc.)

 

From the first day of producing my album to its final mastering, Benjy brought a dedication and enthusiasm that never wavered. His thorough technical knowledge of equipment both modern and antique is remarkable. And those engineering skills combined with his extraordinary musical abilities as producer, arranger and player make him a unique and rare find. Jeff Jacobson – Recording Artist

 

Benjy's extensive knowledge of music, musical equipment and production is amazing. I believe this comes from all his years of 'complete hands on' with all the aspects of writing, performing and producing music. Benjy is one of the most conscientious, hard working people I've ever known. He settles for nothing less than exactly what his vision is, regardless of how long it takes or what is involved in completing the process. What else can I say? Benjy is the real deal and that is extremely hard to find, especially in these times. Russ Bonagura – Recording Artist

 

Over the past 25 years I have played guitar on many, many recordings that Benjy King has produced. He has great instincts for getting ‘The Best’ from an artist. His talents include all aspects of the recording process from song selection, arranging, engineering, and playing keyboards, guitar and bass, to mixing. In working with him a big plus in the experience is the enthusiasm he brings to each project that translates greatly to the final recording. Keith Mack – Guitarist/Scandal/Joe Cocker/Paul Young

 
 

Benjy King is a Producer/Engineer who has worked with some of the greats of our time. Taking advice from these legends and also using the valuable people skills that a self made man usually inherits, Benjy has maintained a recording studio in Manhattan for the last 20 years. Aside from his obvious engineering know-how, Benjy also has impressive production and arrangement skills. With an eye constantly on detail, he strives to improve the strength of the song and recording while managing the artist's desires and temperaments. Knowing how to work this way is not only important...it's almost a prerequisite. Brian Steen - Producer/Analyst Global Mobile Production SonyBMG

 
 

I had the wonderful experience of having Benjy King produce, arrange and engineer my CD ‘Tumbling Years’. I heard another artist’s record that Benjy produced and new instantly he was the person I wanted for mine. Not only is Benjy King a brilliant arranger, he is also an excellent musician. I knew deep down my songs were special and Benjy knew exactly how to make them shine. In the studio, he was extremely caring and approached each recording session with an open freshness along with an incredible ear for sonic detail. Benjy settles for nothing but the best and gets the most out of the artists he works with. No compromises. Benjy King is a multi-instrumentalist and his knowledge of instrumentation is second to none. His innate musicality and knowledge of musical styles is impressive. It is my hope that I once again find myself in the studio with Benjy. Felix van Dijk – Recording Artist

 
 

Recording and working with Benjy King is always a unique experience. Benjy's approach to making records is something that is hard to find in music industry. To begin with, in most studios getting a drum sound can take a very long time. With Benjy it's so fast that we actually begin recording before I finish my coffee. He makes the drums sound natural and organic but also gets a very up to date sound at the same time. Getting the perfect bass drum pattern is also something that amazes me. Benjy seems to find the right pattern for every song and bring energy to it. For me the snare drum is the voice of the drummer and also a very big part of an Album sound. Benjy always makes the right choice whether it's a deep snare for a rock tune or a warm wood snare for a ballad. Eran Asias – New York session drummer
