He also was greatly supported by his father, the internationally renowned Jazz trombonist Ludwig Nuss. With a good environment, he grew up with music from different genres. Later, inspired by “Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum” from “Children’s Corner,” he began at the age of ten to study the composer Claude Debussy, and soon after the works of Maurice Ravel. In 2004, Nuss was taught privately with concert-pianist Andreas Frölich in Bonn, Germany, and later changed teachers to Ilja Scheps as a youth-student. After high school, Nuss studied at the Hochschule für Musik Köln and graduated with a Bachelor in Music. He visited masterclasses there with Anatol Ugorski, Einar Steen-Nokleberg and Ragna Schirmer.〔 Through his success in German national music competition Jugend Musiziert, Nuss was invited to play concerts with the Youth Orchestra of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2006, Nuss received a stipendium from the ''Werner Richard - Dr. Carl Dörken Stiftung'' and played recitals and concerts with different orchestras of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2008, he was chosen for "Best of NRW", which allowed him to play twelve concerts in diverse concert halls in North Rhine-Westphalia. Besides his love for classical music and jazz, he always had a passion for videogames and videogame music. He was the featured soloist in the award winning Symphonic Fantasies and Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy concerts in Tokio, Chicago, Cologne and Stockholm. Additionally, his first soundtrack released was a tribute to Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu, the former composer of the Japanese video game series, ''Final Fantasy''. In 2010, Benyamin did a tour through Germany, where he played again in many major concert halls, among them the Berlin “Philharmonie”, Frankfurt "Alte Oper", Hamburg "Laeiz Halle", Stuttgart "Liederhalle" and many more. Since then, Nuss has played solo performances on TV, like in “Stars von Morgen” with Rolando Villazon and performed in front of German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.〔Benyamin Nuss website, () (accessed 2014-11-07)〕 In 2012, he recorded his second album, titled ''Exotica'', which was followed by concerts in Tokyo and Singapore.
