A representative for the 41-year-old musician from Austin who toured with artists including Ed Sheeran, Ben Folds, and Death Cab for Cutie announced the death on Tuesday. A few songs by Dorian Kweller, who made music under the alias Zev, are listenable on Spotify.

“Oh my god Ben Lizzy I can’t believe this here for you in any way you need love you so much im so sorry,” musician Ben Lee wrote in comments.” Kweller and Lee toured Australia years ago with Ben Folds, calling themselves “The Bens.” “Omg Ben no words. Heart breaks. Can’t even fathom this. Deepest condolences to you and your family,” musician Pete Yorn wrote. “I’m so very sorry. This is heartbreaking beyond comprehension. Sending you all love and prayers,” model Lily Aldridge said in the comments. “Dorian Zev wrote and recorded songs every day,” his father wrote.

From the moment he first spoke, he was a great poet. Only a small number of his recordings were made public, but he was on a route and eager to travel. He had a tonne of plans!

Ben and Dorian’s mother, Liz Kweller, provided additional information in a social media post, stating that her son was driving home when he swerved to avoid a truck in his lane. She claimed that a tree limb that crashed through the windscreen killed the teen instantly.

I’m in a state of shock and am at a loss for words. She later added, “I’m losing my mind and don’t know when I will ever be OK again,” to her earlier statement, “These words don’t sound true but we lost Dorian last night in a blink of his eye.” Please give as many good vibes to our family as you can. Right now, we are absolutely disoriented and residing in a nightmare. All I want is my little boy back.

Ten years ago, a New Mexico cabin nearly killed the entire family due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The musician admitted afterward that “I didn’t want to play music anymore” to Nashville Noise in 2019. For the first time in my life, I was afraid, and I didn’t want to leave my family’s side.
