Ben Harker

Jazz Pianist | Composer | Producer

Welcome to my site!

My name is Ben and I am a Jazz Pianist based in London, UK.

I am a graduate of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (MA Jazz), and I perform in a wide range of large and small creative ensembles.

From an early age I was drawn to music. I started music lessons at age 7, initially learning to play the trumpet. My love for Jazz Piano took hold aged 12 having heard Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum from my Dad’s record collection.

I am currently writing new music under the alias of The Golden Eternity. I’ve been lucky to have my music featured on 4 official Spotify editorial playlists (Fresh Finds Jazz: Best of 2023, Jazzy Beats, Chill Out Jazz and Lounge Jazz) as well as the algorithmic 'Discover Weekly' playlist. I have also been playlisted on Apple Music (Spectrum) and had radio play worldwide from BBC Radio 1's Wind Down, NTS Radio, Tsubaki FM (Japan), Jazz re:freshed and Reprezent radio.
