- ELTON JOHN says, “You better watch out for this kid. He can really play!”
Indeed, 14-year-old Ben Babylon plays keyboards with the passion and skill of an artist twice his age. Singer/songwriter Ben Babylon is an award-winning rock/jazz pianist and keyboardist who received the prestigious Maestro Award in both 2011 and 2012, for outstanding soloist, at the San Diego Jazz Music Festival. Growing up, he was surrounded by music, with a singer/songwriter mother and his father, Guy Babylon, the Grammy Award-winning keyboardist for the Elton John band for over 20 years.

Now he is following in his father's footsteps, writing songs with insightful lyrics and laying the groundwork for his own musical career.
