Bio – Benjamin Cruz

Coming from a family of musicians in Chicago.  I started playing guitar at an early age after being inspired by a variation of  genre’s .  At that time, I became a lead singer, learned to play the rhythm guitar, some keyboards and played in bands.

One of the most popular bands I was in and managed was the Area Code 608 band out of Madison, Wisconsin.  The band backed celebrities such as Bobby Rydell and opened up for the Turtles, The Guess Who and Herman’s Hermits.   Some of the musicians in the band had come from famous bands such as Curtis Mayfield etc..

Shortly after all of this, I decided to give up playing in the lucrative country clubs and casinos to focus on my own music.  I own Life Stream Recording Studios and use Pro-tools software.
