About Benji Rogers

I\'m a British-born, New York–based entrepreneur and educator working at the intersection of music, media, and AI. As a Partner at Lark42, I help startups secure funding, build products, and navigate market entry in music and AI—always emphasizing human-centered solutions over pure automation. As Co-President of Sureel AI, I focus on explainability and attribution, ensuring creators and their work are recognized and fairly rewarded. I also teach at Berklee College of Music, bringing both an artist\'s and a technologist\'s perspective to the evolving landscape of music and technology.I write The Daily Active User (https://thedailyactiveuser.substack.com), a weekly newsletter exploring what it means to be human within attention-maximizing systems—and how we might reclaim them for creativity and dignity. The Friday edition of Something For The Weekend includes curated recommendations on what to read, watch, and listen to. I\'ve founded multiple companies, including one recognized on Fast Company\'s \"Most Innovative Companies\" list. I\'ve been named to Billboard\'s 40 Under 40 and honored as Digital Executive of the Year.
