BIO
Prepare to be transported to another realm of music with Ben Jansz, the soulful and exhilarating singer/songwriter whose performances capture the hearts and minds of all who watch him.
Ben Jansz's performance is an eclectic mix of Middle Eastern/European influences, fused with Aussie Roots & Blues, Folk Rock, and Tribal Trance, serving as a container for sharing life’s stories. Ben is a singer/songwriter at heart and shares intimate, vulnerable journal entries that reflect on mental illness, emotional despair, heartache, hope & celebration, and the pure joy of life. His music is an invitation to look deep within and to reach out to the people around you.
Armed with a formidable array of instruments, including yidaki (didgeridoo), guitar, foot percussion, vocals, and various FX. This “one-man-band” blends Folk, Rock, Aussie Roots & Blues to create his signature sound. Inspired by nature's symphonies, the Australian landscape, and folktale storytelling, Ben brings his own unique vocals and skillful use of multiple instruments to create something truly magical.
Having toured Australia several times, Ben has graced audiences around the country, playing at intimate and popular venues and supporting local, national and international talent. Now spreading his reach, he has recently toured the UK (2024/2025), appearing at many festivals over the south coast, leaving audiences spellbound with his fiery expression and passionate message.
As a self-proclaimed "emotional activist", Ben is more than just a musician -he's a storyteller who shares his experiences and emotions through his music. Once you hear his message and feel the raw emotion he brings to his performances, you'll be left feeling a little closer to yourself and the world around you.
A tidal wave of rhythm and sound that feels almost impossible to come from a single human.
