Benny Braun is an artist and producer from Hamburg, Germany.
His music is often genre-bending but essentially based on Synthpop and Electronica.

True to this, Benny's ever-changing journey as a musician has been long and lively. Since the late 1970ies, he has been active as a live musician, composer and later studio producer in a wide variety of genres. His numerous releases with bands and solo-artists - including his own projects - go from complete underground acts up to remarkable chart positions. In addition, Benny also has produced music for films and commercials.

His first electronic solo project dates back to the mid 1990ies and saw the release of two singles and an album. In 2016, after a several year hiatus, Benny revived the project and has been coming up with new material ever since.

Wonderful music from contemporary composers who love the art of making music.

'The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious,  It is the source of all true art and science."  Albert Einstein
