Ben Clark, AKA Jivea, is an American producer, DJ, musician, and songwriter from Tampa, Florida. In his early life, he honed his songwriting and production skills in a rock n' roll band. He embarked on his solo career at age 18 and later received a bachelor's degree from Berklee College of Music. In 2019, he self-released his first EP, Empire, followed by his second EP, Dreamer, a year later. The two records layed the ground work for the future sound to come. By incorporating hi-formant vocal processing, and a signature "bendy melody" sound, Jivea delivers an organic and energetic experience.
