Despite his extensive resume in film and television, Ben remains true to his a cappella roots. After all, as a collegiate a cappella singer and music director, he helped propel the SoCal VoCals to three ICCA championships (experience that would later serve him well on the set of “Pitch Perfect”). During his tenure, the group performed on “The Today Show” and shared the stage with artists like Queen Latifah, Josh Groban, Sara Bareilles, Ben Folds, and The Rescues.

Ben now works closely with Pentatonix as their producer, recording engineer, and co-arranger; he served as tour manager and sound engineer for their 2012 tour. At home in LA, he co-directs, arranges, and sings in his group Level, while also arranging for many other groups and serving as a clinician, panelist, and judge at various festivals and competitions. He’s also starting a vocal camp for high schoolers called A Cappella Academy, slated for summer 2014, which he is co-directing with Avi Kaplan and Rob Dietz. In addition to all this, he’s always up for another new and exciting a cappella challenge!
