Benjamin Priestland is a singer/songwriter and actor from the Kansas City area. He has been performing since the fourth grade, and currently studies drama, music, and dance in college. He is a very well-rounded performer known for his depth in vocal training, having studied many different genres of music, as well as the versatility that he brings to the stage as a very physical actor. Coming from a large background in competitive sports most of his life, he has been able to puck up movement techniques with different dance forms and works to incorporate them into his collage of performance. He continues to challenge himself in all three disciplines of singing, acting, and dancing, striving to bring about the strength in quality that a versatile performer can have in these three arts.
When he is not performing, Benjamin enjoys spending time with his family, playing soccer, and mountain biking. He aspires to be the best performer that he can, showing up to rehearsals with enthusiasm and a smile, ready to learn new things and challenge the artists around him.
