Benjamin Martinson (b. 1987), a native of Alaska, is a graduate student of composition at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Butler University, where he studied composition with Michael Schelle, Frank Felice and James Mullholland, and voice with counter-tenor Steven Rickards.

In 2006, Benjamin was a winner of the National MENC Student Composition Talent Search with his SATB choral work, "Agnus Dei". He was commissioned in 2008 by the American Pianists' Association to write "Little Drops of Falling Sleep" for the APA Fellows Solo Piano Competition. His works have been performed in such notable venues as Wesley's Chapel, London; Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin; and Assembly Hall, Salt Lake City.

While Benjamin's output consists largely of choral works, he has written as well for various ensembles, concert band, string orchestra and electronic media. He is published by Colla Voce Music.
