Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on May 12, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Ben Westbeech! The man whose grooves are smoother than jazz itself and whose beats have made Naked Naked the coolest label around. You've effortlessly blended genres, earning respect from jazz aficionados and electronic music lovers alike—quite a feat for someone who probably still can't decide which instrument to play next.

From your soulful melodies to launching countless artists through your visionary record label, you've truly hit all the right notes. Here's hoping this year brings you even more success—and perhaps fewer late-night studio sessions (though we doubt it). Keep swinging those rhythms; you're timelessly cool!
