If you’re unsure which option fits your needs, you’re welcome to book a short Connection Call.
Connection Call | 15–20 minutes | Free
A brief, no-pressure conversation to help clarify what kind of support would serve you best. This is not a coaching or production session, but a chance to orient and choose a next step.

What's it like to Work with Benjamin Jay Thomas?
Over the past several months, Benjamin has helped me bring what felt like a distant ‘dream’ into reality. He is able to meet me right where I am in the vulnerable creative process providing insight and endless encouragement. He is a talented musician and offers a wealth of resources and knowledge in a supportive way that helps me expand and explore my own ideas. I am truly grateful!!
“Being on this journey with Ben through song coaching has been such a transformative experience. I thought I was coming in to write some songs, but it has gone such deeper than that to how I do all things, and how I show up for myself. Ben is such a wise and supportive guide through this process, I highly recommend working with him!"
"Song coaching with Ben has been the best thing I’ve done for my songwriting. Nurturing, open, fun, inspiring environment. He’s helped me improve exponentially. I cannot recommend him highly enough"
I'm a few sessions in and hooked on Bens compassionate teaching style. He is super knowledgeable and has been customizing the sessions for me and my friends each individually. It's super cool to go into this experience not knowing what I don't know and witnessing Ben make sense of things and give me meaningful direction through his curiosity and intentional questions. I am enjoying the gift that is this beautiful learning experience
"Working with Benjamin was a surreal experience. His contributions, arrangements, and ideas were just what my song needed to truly lift its' wings and fly. Not only was he ultra communicative during the entire process, but he is just a warm, peaceful, soul. Working with him is truly a meditative experience and the elements he brings to the table will have you smiling from ear to ear, and if you're like me, constantly tearful while observing your dream come to life"
From the first minute, Benjamin has been extremely professional and, at the same time, very kind, friendly and approachable. His knowledge, skills and talent (on all levels) is nothing short of SUPERB. Ben always found the time to respond to all the requests along the way with extreme patience, motivation, flexibility and dedication. Ben, mate, I sincerely wish to thank you for everything and hope we can work again in the near future. Amazing experience and the final result! Strongly recommended!
Ben is by far the greatest producer I have ever worked with. He is professional, hard working and talented. He puts his heart and soul into the production, vision and songs. He even has song guides on how to sing it as effective as possible. Be prepared to smile; not only for the music he makes with you but also because of him. It was truly a pleasure and a gift to work with him and I will continue to work with him! Thank you Ben!
Ben is a talented producer with great taste! His compositions are beautiful and soulful. He brought my draft of just vocals and piano to life with gorgeous orchestration.
He's also very patient, understanding, and proactive in his communications. He listened to every piece of feedback I provided and made adjustments with care.
I'm really glad I chose Ben for my song, and I'll definitely come back!
I have worked with Benjamin on many recordings over the past 15 years, and he remains one of my favorite producers, songwriters, and trusted confidants. Whether through his approach to guitar harmony, sonic landscape, or just being able to take a “helicopter view” of a musical idea, Ben is able to draw out the best in a song or artist. And even though I’m now based in Nashville, TN (which is not bereft of the world’s best producers) I still choose to work with Ben and pass like-minded artists his way. I cannot speak highly enough!
I love working with Ben. Recording is always a vulnerable process but Ben makes it easy by creating a safe environment, offering really valuable suggestions for improvement in a way that feels encouraging and respectful. From this elevated environment comes a more authentic performance. Then he works his magic and turns a loose idea into a fully polished work of art, I’m super pleased how our songs have turned out! - Alica C.
"We had an exceptional experience working with Ben to create a song for our grand daughter’s birthday. He was very professional, and kept us in the loop during the entire creation process. Ben took the time to understand her backstory, and weaved unique sound bites into the final song. His lyric writing is very impressive, and the we could not be happier of the final product produced. Would recommend Ben highly on any concept to final song product project, or anything in between. Thanks Ben!!"
If you’d like to explore working together, you’re welcome to start with a Connection Call or a 1:1 coaching session.
