The Great-grandson of Irving Berlin, Vermont-based Composer, Writer, Radio Host, and Recovery Advocate Benjamin Lerner started his musical career as a classical piano prodigy. By his early twenties, he was an IV heroin and crack cocaine addict. Now sober since June 2016, he journals his journey in addiction and sobriety in his all new piano-raps, which combine classical piano and rap. He has had the pleasure of performing for the National Academy of Medicine and The Aspen Institute. His debut album, CLEAN, was released in February 2020. It was produced at Old Mill Road Recording. His weekly CLEAN column is published by the Vermont News Guide and syndicated to Seven Days. His weekly radio show, CLEAN Jams, on WEQX, is also recorded at Old Mill Road Recording. He is currently working on his second album.
