New Orleans native Benjamin Chisolm, better known as Ignite, has been immersed in music since his toddler years. Starting as a street performer, he soon embraced instruments, broadening his musical horizons.

However, Ignite's childhood wasn't easy. Facing homelessness and foster care, music became his solace, a way to navigate harsh realities. At 13, he picked up the guitar and began crafting raps that interlaced with his music. Over the next decade, his dedication blossomed into a multifaceted skillset.

Today, Ignite stands tall as a rapper, singer-songwriter, guitarist, sound engineer, and cinematographer. Music may have been his first love, but filmmaking has become his absolute passion. He emphasizes creative control, ensuring every project reflects his vision perfectly. Only then can he confidently share his art with the world.
