Ideas Bigger Than Categories

Benjamin J. Romans makes things that don’t exist yet.
Composer. Producer. Storyteller. Builder of worlds.

He started composing at six, formed bands in high school to avoid turning into a gifted recluse, and played jazz trios in college until he realized he preferred people, brands, and bold ideas to drink tickets and quiet approval.

Enter The Click Five, an international power pop band that took him from Berklee to global tours, sold-out arenas, chart-topping records, and surreal moments with screaming fans and world leaders alike.

After the band, he moved to Los Angeles and began thinking on a different scale — writing and producing records, scoring films, and building an immersive new storytelling platform that fused cinema, theater, music, and design.

That became CAGES — a genre-collapsing pop opera housed in a custom-built venue, powered by original tech, and described by Forbes as “the future of live entertainment.” It ran for multiple years in Downtown LA and opened in London in 2022.

He’s currently developing new projects — but remains open to composing, directing, creative consulting, and stepping in as a creative director for bold, meaningful work that actually moves the needle.
