A multidimensional, metaphysical, interdisciplinary, international art enterprise. In other words, a “band”, and some other stuff.
Local Rockstar
FANTAZMA was formed in 2019 by Fabio Rubiera (guitar, vocals) and Sean Gorena (drums), later joined by Gloria Aldana (bass, vocals), to play heavy, energetic punk music while pushing genre boundaries to subvert expectations. The trio has released two EPs, ¡Candela! (2023) and ¡OYE! (2025), and a live album, Live At The Pocket (2025).
Ben is a 19 year old musician from western Loudoun County in northern VA. He began playing music at an early age, attending open mic nights playing guitar and singing songs. He started to get offers to play small events which in turn connected him to local musicians.
He has played at multiple Purcellville Music and Arts Festivals, Celebrate Purcellville, and participated in “Music in the Tabernacle” live streamed events during the height of COVID.
Ben was given the opportunity to perform his own showcase of covers and originals at a “Music for Dessert” concert at the Franklin Arts Center in Purcellville in 2021.
He was invited to perform as a “Rising Star” at the 2021 Loco Music Festival, and after participating in multiple Loudoun County Battle of the Bands contests; he won “Best Original Song” in 2022 and was a finalist in 2023.
He was invited to perform at the Crossroads Music Festival in Leesburg in 2022 and will perform again in 2023 where he will showcase all original music.
He will perform an all original music set at the Localpalooza event in Manassas in 2023.
Ben also writes and produces music released under the moniker “Insert Title Policy” which can be found on all online streaming platforms.
