Benjamin Hackett

Vocals & Guitar

Hi, my name is Benjamin and I am one of Radio Merchant's founding members. I am also Radio Merchant's guitarist and one of their two lead vocalsts.

When booking Radio Merchant as a solo act, I'll be the one providing a 'one man band' style performance with guitar, vocals, and foot percussion. I'll also be present for all other band configurations as the guitarist and a lead vocalist.

I am a university educated musician with over 12 years of performance experience. I have toured internationally and onboard cruise ships. When not performing with Radio Merchant I write and record songs for film and television sync with my wife Mia, and am also one member of the band Azalea.
