I was listening to the _Kill la Kill_ soundtrack which is amazing but I'm
scratching my head over this particular artist who contributes vocals,
Benjamin Anderson. I tried googling/wiki'ing and I found this [Wikipedia
article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Anderson_\(musician\)) \- But I
don't think it's the same person...? There doesn't seem to be any mention of
_Kill la Kill_ on his website.

I would love to find out exactly who it is, just to be sure. I thought the
vocals were amazing and would like to see if this person had any previous
work?

Who exactly is Benjamin Anderson in the Kill la Kill soundtrack?


The Wikipedia article you linked to is **NOT** the same Benjamin Anderson who
worked on the Kill la Kill soundtrack. They were born in different countries,
in different years, and have absolutely nothing else in common.

The correct Benjamin Anderson was born in London, UK and currently resides in
Japan.

As it mentions on his profile, he is the singer and songwriter for CODE.

Keep in mind that they did not contribute any music, only lyrics and vocals.

You also asked about other vocal work he's done, so here are pages for his
main band, CODE:

  * **CODE Homepage:** <http://code2010est.jimdo.com>

  * **CODE @ReverbNation:** <http://www.reverbnation.com/odeinc>

And here are his personal pages at other sites, using various aliases:

  * **ReverbNation:** <http://www.reverbnation.com/steviebarracuda>

  * **SoundCloud:** <https://soundcloud.com/dj-phoney>

He also did keyboards for a group called "Split Works" in 2006:

Additionally, you can find all the comments he's made on YouTube videos here:

<https://plus.google.com/104914344750776651199/posts>

In _Kill la Kill_ , he was the singer for "I want to know", and he provided
vocals for "Suck your blood" along with Jun Tatami. The comments shown in the
above link make it clear which vocals are his: the segment of "Suck your
blood" which played during episode 10 (starting at 21:37) was entirely sung by
Jun Tatami.

On a side note, I should point out that "Jun Tatami" (the bassist and backup
vocalist for CODE) is not the name listed on the credits as the second
vocalist for "Suck your blood". Instead, the infamously anonymous vocalist
"mpi" was listed.

Taking that into consideration, and comparing Jun Tatami's voice to mpi's,
it's clear that they're the same person.

This is the vocalist for "Call your name" and "The Reluctant Heroes" from
_Attack on Titan_ , and "friends" and "Hill Of Sorrow" from _Guilty Crown_.

I hope that's enough information for you to be able to keep enjoying the
vocals of Benjamin Anderson. His YouTube channel in particular seems to have
quite a lot of music on it.
