Ben Folds is an American songwriter and pop-pianist. He first gained notoriety as the frontman of the alt-rock piano-centric group Ben Folds Five, who produced three albums from 1995 to their break up in 2000.

Folds further solidified public presence following the split with his successful solo career. His first solo album, Rockin' The Suburbs, was released on September 11, 2001, and has since been followed by five studio albums, three extended plays, one live release and a compilation album encompassing his work from both his solo career and his time with BFF.

One significant release is Folds' 2010 collaboration with author Nick Hornby, Lonely Avenue. The album, an experiment of sorts, combines Folds' musicality with Hornby’s lyrical stylings, creating something altogether unique in Folds' catalogue.
