I’m Benjamin Field. I am the guitarist for Paradise on Fire. Ever since I was a child I have loved music and performing, if you were to ask my parents they would confirm many a story of times where I would organize and put on my own little shows and concerts. From a young age I was surrounded by music. My father played drums, and my mother is an accomplished pianist which really prodded my already sporadic imagination into a deep love and passion for the arts. I’ve been writing music as long as I’ve been alive and playing guitar since around age 8 or 9 (approximately 12 years ago) and before that I played drums. I have almost always had a band or project of some sort because I love music, it’s always been a part of who I am and a major outlet for me regardless of the outcome. I listen to a wide range of music. Some examples being Hot Mulligan, Knocked Loose, Neck Deep, Drain, Knuckle Puck, Disciple, Fireflight, Hawk Nelson (pre 2010), Higher Power, Travis Scott, Ken Carson, Yeat, Turnstile, Tyler the Creator, Slipknot, Deadmau5, The Plot In You, Sueco, Dragged Under, and a bunch of classic rock bands to fill in the gaps.
