longer Bio
Benjamin Webster is an emerging voice in both music and film, blending his experience as a songwriter, documentarian, and creative consultant to create thought-provoking, emotionally resonant works. Now settled in Austin, Texas, Benjamin’s artistic journey has spanned a decade across the globe, where a dual passion for music and social justice has shaped a distinct creative output.
As a guitarist and songwriter, Benjamin draws from a diverse palette—the grit of Australian ‘slacker’ rock, the honesty of traditional country, and the melodic sensibilities of indie-pop. His music breathes new life into acoustic-driven songwriting, characterized by introspective lyrics and a raw, "no-frills" approach.
His debut EP, Nothing At All (September 2025), features a powerful collaboration with Canadian artists on the title track—an introduction to a sound carved out by ten years of traveling the world with an acoustic guitar strapped to his back. In 2026, Benjamin will release his follow-up EP, Coffee Shop. This record marks a return to his "Brisbane slacker rock" roots, built on an electric foundation and booming grooves that hint at his early career as a touring bassist.
Now that he’s called Austin home, songs are pouring out like a broken hydrant on a 100-degree July afternoon in East Austin; refreshing, and a little chaotic. He is deeply embedded in the local scene, not just as a performer, but as the founder of ‘It’s Not Finished’—a community songwriting group that brings Austin creators together to vulnerably share and celebrate the "work in progress."

+ Friends
Benjamin has more recently collaborated with Canadian music icon Henry Small (ex-Prism lead singer), recording the track "Nothing At All" in Kamloops in October 2024, featuring Henry on violin. This collaboration adds a unique dimension to Benjamin’s work, blending his acoustic sensibilities with Henry's renowned musical talent and power-soul performance.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Benjamin has built a vast catalog of video content over the past year, capturing moments from his travels across the globe as he connected with ancient cultures and immersed himself in diverse music scenes. From Ireland to Argentina, this rich visual material will form the backbone of a months-long social media campaign coinciding with multiple Seekers & Keepers releases.
+ Films
As a filmmaker, Benjamin is the director and producer of Littlesky, a documentary currently in post-production and scheduled to premiere at film festivals in 2025. The film focuses on the Kamloops community in British Columbia as they heal together after the confirmation of an estimated 200 Indigenous children's remains at the site of the former Indian Residential School.
This powerful and emotional project allows Benjamin to merge his passion for storytelling with his commitment to social justice, making him a unique voice in both the music and film worlds.
