Benjamin de Boer (1995) studied classical double bass at the conservatory of Amsterdam. He studied with Rick Stotijn, Olivier Thiery and Peter Leerdam. 

After his graduation in 2018 he continued his studies at Codarts, Rotterdam. Here he followed the master course Creative Performer: a course in which he combined lessons in classical double bass with lessons in jazz composition. Composition lessons he received from film- and jazzcomposer Paul van Brugge. In 2020 he finished these studies Cum Laude.

During his masters in Rotterdam, De Boer researched and experimented with the percussive possibilities of the double bass, resulting in various new compositions featuring these techniques.
