Sports dominated Ben’s younger years, but his passion for the guitar began around the age of 14 when a new guitar and lessons became a part of his life. When his youth group needed a singer and guitar player, Ben filled that role and continued to perform throughout his high school years. Once he enrolled at McNeese State University, music took a backseat to classes and college baseball. However, Ben and a few college buddies soon formed a band, with Ben playing guitar and adding in vocals now and then. Following weekend baseball games, he would rush to meet his band members to perform gigs. Ben loved entertaining friends, teammates and the locals, and the fifty bucks he earned each gig was an added bonus for the typical poor college student.

After the draft, Ben’s performances came to a halt except for occasional entertainment of friends and teammates. However, the quiet time in hotel rooms while on the road allowed Ben to pursue another element of music - songwriting. Ben’s earlier musical days had brought forth numerous ideas and melodies for songs, but he never had the opportunity to put them together. All the songs from his new cd were written in his spare time while traveling, and inspired by everyday life and relationships. As an added bonus, Ben is a talented “beat-boxer”.
