Will Benoit: Letting Go of Perfection


Listen Later

Will Benoit is an American composer, producer, and audio engineer. He has been obsessed with songwriting and audio production since a bandmate left a four-track tape machine in his basement during high school. In 2010, Benoit founded The Radar Studio, a solar-powered recording facility in CT where he produces music for film, television, albums, concerts, and advertising.

In 2002, Benoit earned a BA in Visual and Media Arts from Emerson College with a concentration in Audio Production. Both during and after college he worked for several record labels including Century Media and Hydra Head Records before co-founding his own indie label Radar Recordings in 2003.

Since 2018, Will has been the singer, guitarist, and recording engineer for the critically acclaimed band SOM. Prior to starting that project he toured extensively across the globe and released six albums with Constants. His production discography includes work with notable artists like Ellie Goulding (Polydor Rec.), Caspian (Triple Crown Rec.), and Junius (Prosthetic Rec.). His personal output can be heard under the moniker Living Phantoms.
