Ben Krueger

Born and raised in San Diego, Ben began playing guitar in high school and never looked back. Over 25 years playing in local bands and recording multiple albums and EPs, he fell in love with audio engineering. He has engineered and produced songs in a large range of genres, including his own very off-Broadway rock opera about nefarious space plants. A self-described “audio nerd”, Ben gets into the technical details, while keeping the compass on the artistic vision and emotional impact of the music.

Before breaking out as an independent audio engineer, Ben created a music and audio engineering program at a progressive charter school in San Diego, where he taught thousands of students how to play instruments and audio engineer. He has received grants and sponsorships from Fender, Shure Microphones, Taylor Guitars, and Deering Banjos among others. Ben brings the love, patience, and listening of teaching into his audio engineering and musical collaborations.
