Benjamin Skepper, is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, an innovator fascinated by evolving technologies and our deepest corporeal connections to music. He combines classical aesthetics with contemporary art, science, technology, and the avant-garde. He’s no less fascinated by issues of identity, human rights and the many relationships between sound, medicine and healing. Celebrated for his ability to weave through musical boundaries and artistic expressions, Skepper has received international recognition for his comprehensive body of work. Starting his musical journey as a piano prodigy at age two, Skepper embraced numerous art forms from an early age, including ballet, singing, harpsichord, and further studies in the violoncello. From his first international tour at 10, Skepper’s passion for travel and cross-cultural exchange has landed him commissions from all over the world. His practice embraces experimental approaches to classical composition, sound design, and multi-artform practice. His passion and diverse skill-set allow him to find new connections between distinct disciplines. While pursuing a successful music career, Skepper also obtained an Arts/Law degree from the University of Melbourne. A dedicated human rights advocate and solicitor, he voluntarily supports NGOs, community arts organisations and charities, reaffirming his strong belief in the transformative power of art for social change, inclusion and healing. As both a cultural producer and director, Skepper founded contrapuntal, an art studio and creative enterprise. Through this vehicle, he delivers unique multi-artform installations, performances and exhibitions, collaborating with museums, luxury brands, government agencies, festivals, and more. Under the umbrella of contrapuntal, he has also launched his independent music label, which, to date, boasts six self-produced solo releases. Skepper is an innovative thinker, seeking to integrate scientific breakthroughs within his creative practice. He’s particularly interested in how music and sound influence human experiences, and has ventured into the world of genetics and neuroscience, particularly in the context of music and healing. His projects represent a unique cross-disciplinary approach to art, tech and science. Additionally, as an author, Benjamin communicates his vivid ideas on art, innovation, and sustainable futures, most recently through his book ‘Artist Thinking’. A compelling writer and performer, he is frequently featured across a range of media outlets, and embraces every opportunity to influence positive social transformation through his art. “Embodying classical aesthetic, music and culture, Benjamin Skepper is a musician with an extraordinary sense of the contemporary” (Rolling Stone Italy) https://benjaminskepper.com/
