Folds is best known as a solo artist and as the front-man and pianist of Ben Folds Five. Folds’ music is evocative of artists such as Joe Jackson and Sir Elton John with an added edge and bold infusion of energy and wit.
In 2000, Ben Folds Five broke up and Folds began his solo career in 2001 with the release of many albums. Over the past few years Folds has also provided a number of songs for film soundtracks. He is currently recording his newest album which will be released later this year.
