About Benjie Hughes

I'm founder and CEO of Backthird Entertainment, a Chicago-area DJ and live music company, and of Backthird Audio, a membership recording studio. I arrange music and and play piano and guitar with our Twin Strings ensemble. When I'm not writing or making music, I'm reading history and theology or seeking out great stories in books, graphic novels and video games. My wife and I live on the Fox River in downtown Aurora, Illinois, close enough to walk to Backthird Audio.
