Ben Smith, the voice behind Watermelon Rattlesnake, is a Greenville, SC–based artist with Charleston roots and a decade in the Southern music scene.

Fusing dreamy synth-pop with the grit of his punk and rock background, his sound is emotionally charged and cinematic—anchored in real stories of love, heartbreak, travel, and self-discovery.

In 2025, Ben returns to Los Angeles to work with producer Courtney Ballard, pushing the boundaries of his signature sound with a fresh wave of new music.
