    Biography

    Benjamin Falik is ambivalent about the idea of personal fame. That's one reason the songwriter/producer chose the name Julia Lewis as a professional pseudonym. 
 That drive to upend the expected is a through line in Falik's work, as his reputation for making soulful, rhythmic bops. In 2018, Falik earned a co-sign from Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds at the RnB legend’s inaugural songwriting camp in LA. 
 Falik, for his part, studied jazz as a young teen, playing saxophone, bass, guitar and piano. Branching out into classic funk and R&B, the young musician eventually gravitated toward the experimentation of futuristic RnB and the urgency of hip-hop, insistent that he shouldn’t have to choose between Miles Davis and Mobb Deep. 
 The result is an impressive range: a drive for beats that are both soothing and surprising; a playful approach to blending the electronic and analog; an ear for obscure samples, digital synths and warm, old-school horns. It’s a confident style all his own.
