Singer-Songwriter-Musician-Producer

             Robb Benson

Welcome! I’m Robb Benson, a lifer in the Pacific Northwest music scene. Over the years, I’ve fronted 10 Seattle bands, released a deep catalog of solo records, and played countless live shows across the US, Canada, Paris, and Germany.

Currently, I front Planets in the Ocean, a trio that just dropped our debut full-length vinyl.

My journey through Seattle’s dynamic music landscape includes:

  • Planets in the Ocean – Current power-trio, debut vinyl out now

  • Stereo Embers – High-energy alternative rock

  • The Glass Notes & Dept. Of Energy – Indie rock & melodic hooks

  • Dear John Letters – Atmospheric indie rock

  • Nevada Bachelors – Late '90s power pop debut record deal

  • Early Days – The Widows Party, Mean Tangerine, and Thistle

  • On the Drums – Spent several years and recorded multiple releases behind the kit for The Great Um

(And around here, you never know which band might reunite next!) Beyond recording and touring, I work directly with clients to craft custom, commissioned songs built around your lyrics, personal stories, and ideas.

Thank you for stopping by the site—take a look around, check out the music, and let's make something great together.

Commission a Song

Let us make something great!

I have been doing this for years. For anniversary, birthdays, love songs, break up songs, songs about animals, songs for kids. Any style you want! I can write your words into a fully produced song. I write the song from your words, I record all the instruments. Guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, lots of vocals and harmonies, fully produced in the style you want the most. Feel free to email me for more information. I have done this a lot more over the last few years. It has become my weekend side job. I would love to help your words come alive in a fully produced song in my studio.
