The artist: Ben Harper

Ben Harper (Claremont, California, October 28, 1969) is one of the most eclectic and respected singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists in the international music scene. Raised in a family of musicians and luthiers, he developed a personal guitar technique — with particular mastery of slide guitar — that blends folk, rock, blues, reggae, and soul into an immediately recognizable sound. After his debut in 1994, he gained global recognition with The Will to Live (1997) and Burn to Shine (1999). A multi-Grammy Award winner, he led The Innocent Criminals for decades and collaborated with artists such as Jack Johnson and The Blind Boys of Alabama. "Call It What It Is," released in 2016, marks the reunion of the historic band in an album of civil commitment and extraordinary sonic power, acclaimed by international critics as one of the most significant works of his career.

What is an original autographed CD?

A signed original CD is a unique piece where the artist's signature has been applied directly to the official cover, without intermediaries. It differs from printed reproductions due to the natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the surface, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. When the autographed CD is accompanied by the MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) included free of charge and the third-party COA included in the price, it becomes a certified collectible document whose value increases over time in relation to the signatory's career and artistic relevance.
