The Wild Wild

The Wild Wild (aka Benjamin Dunn) is a road-traveled, world traversed, artist living in Highland Park in Los Angeles. From hitchhiking as a teenager out to the West Coast, camping in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and the beaches of Santa Cruz, to spending months in Bulgaria enjoying week long parties with gypsies, visiting slums and garbage dumps all over India, Asia and Africa, Theology school and devouring literature and to ultimately writing & making records through it all… His narrative is “The Wild Wild”, and he takes all that raw energy and experience and creates Music. Mystical storylines & living-atmosphere weaved into songs. It’s art from an interesting perspective of the universe at play. His lyrics are largely influenced by mythology, philosophical and spiritual literature like C.S. Lewis, Allan Watts, as well as writers like Huxley, Leary, Ram Dass, George McDonald & Kerouac. Specifically the book Darma Bums which speaks toward The Wild Wild’s time hitchhiking the West Coast as a teenager. For the last year or so he has been working and living as minimal as he could in a recycled Tiny House studio (mostly resembling a garden shed) in the highland park neighborhood of Los Angeles. His highly acclaimed song When We Were Young has received close to 6 million streams on Spotify alone. His music has been synched in numerous worldwide campaigns for film, tv and brands; like, Snapchat, Levis, BMW Visit Orlando etc. as well as receiving acclamations from major press and magazines like Neon Gold, Alternative Press, FuseTV, Forever 21 and Baebel.
