The words “masterful”, “remarkable”, and “everything he touches turns to gold” have been used by various periodicals when reviewing music created by award-winning producer/composer Ben Leinbach.  Ben aspires to create transcendent music that highlights a broad spectrum of the human experience: the beauty and the darkness, the love and the longing, the joy and the melancholy.  It is his hope that through exploring this emotional terrain, the listener will feel more deeply and live more fully. 

He has produced recordings with Deva Premal and Miten, Shiva Rea, and Jai Uttal, including Jai’s Grammy-nominated album “Mondo Rama”, to name a few. As a recording engineer he has worked with Joan Baez, Ledisi, and E-40, among many others, and performed as a drummer with Kurt Elling, Chico Freeman, and Michael Manring.  One of his former rock bands shared bills with Green Day, Primus, and The Ohio Players.

Your lovely Story Telling Pop band | heir debut album My Diary contains 13 songs which were written sequentially based on their story telling concept.

The concept was illustrated by Mocca through a girl’s point of view who frequently wrote her daily experiences into a diary.

The album started with a song: ‘Once upon a time’ as an intro, and followed by her first encounter with her secret admirer (song: secret admirer), then after a long hesitation (twist me around, what if) she decided to get steady with the boy (me & my boyfriend). Thus, they caught up in a fight (telephone), got broke up (when the moonlight shine), and in the end they understood that they weren’t meant for each other (Rain will fall, Life keeps on turning).

Every event were signified by different beat according to the girl’s mood. There are waltz, bossanova, rock n roll even 70’s disco beat.
All songs are written in English, therefore most part of the world could understand the lyrics and it’ll alleviate mocca’s way to go international.
In their live performance mocca is also supported by 2 (two) additional players (keyboards and trumpet).
