Jasen Rauch is an American guitarist, songwriter and producer, best known as the lead guitarist of BREAKING BENJAMIN.

Long before joining the band on a permanent basis, he made a name for himself as a creative force behind the scenes, contributing as a writer to several of their songs and shaping the sound that would later define the group’s modern era.

His musical journey began as a founding member and guitarist of RED, where he developed a blend of heavy rock energy, atmospheric textures and strong melodic instincts.

This period not only established him as a distinctive player, but also opened the door to extensive studio work, production and songwriting for a wide range of artists.

When BREAKING BENJAMIN re-formed in 2014, Jasen stepped into the role of lead guitarist, bringing with him a refined sense of tone, structure and emotional dynamics.

On stage, his playing is powerful and precise, supporting the band’s trademark mix of aggression and melody. In the studio, his experience as a producer adds depth to his role, giving him the ability to shape arrangements and enhance the band’s sonic identity far beyond the guitar parts alone.

His style balances tight, modern rock riffing with expressive leads and detailed layering, making him a central contributor to the band’s evolving sound.

Today, Jasen continues to work not only as a performer but also as a songwriter and producer, collaborating across genres and lending his expertise to both emerging and established artists.

His combination of technical skill, musical sensitivity and professional studio experience reflects the qualities found throughout the KLOTZ AIS artist roster.

With a demanding touring schedule and a rig built for precision and reliability, his work embodies the level of artistry and consistency that aligns naturally with the #KLOTZfamily identity.
