About Me:
 
Songwriter and multimedia artist Ben Karis-Nix has fortified his celebrations of life, love, and the natural world across many miles and many media. Having toured nationally for years with two bands, the Orange and MySpace faves Jupiter Sunrise, Ben Karis-Nix is on the road once again in support of his new solo EP, We Are Giants Now. A skilled mix of the organic and the digital, We Are Giants Now makes Bens underlying respect-the-Earth aesthetic all the more moving, as well as musically gratifying.

Ben's recordings, performances, and songwriting have earned him features
on the CW show "One Tree Hill," MTVs "Road Rules" and "Real World, "NPR's "Weekend Edition," and MySpace Compilation Vol. 1.

Ben has also launched his own clothing line, Run, We Must (www.runwemust.com), featuring his original silkscreen designs that
promote sources of renewable energy.

Keep a lookout for Bens multimedia release, The Reverie of Ruby Star, a series of animated featurettes, music, and graphic art due in 2009.
