Official Blog of Illinois Country Artist Jason Benefield. Being around other songwriters has really inspired me to write more often myself. At the risk of sounding redundant, I have kids.

A virtuoso creative professional with ten years of experience in the entertainment industry. Skilled in brand-building and digital production delivering timely and beautiful results to all media platforms.

Jason Benjamin was born in Melbourne in 1971 and had a fairly peripatetic childhood. Moving from Sydney to the USA to Mexico and returning to Sydney for high school. At 16 he applied and received a scholarship that took him to New York, first to The Stony Brook School to complete a diploma and from there to Pratt Institute located in Brooklyn to focus solely on Art. All we have is now.

And am currently leading the effort to build the ML pipeline at Sourceress. I founded Paper Club, a time-intensive and weekly meeting of four SWEs. We discuss recent or important papers in deep learning and write blog posts on Medium.
