Biografie van Ben Franklin

He is an artist, writer, singer, musician, and producer. Ben began his career at the age of 16 but to truly get a look into the mind of the man behind the music, we must travel back in time to where it all began. Born in Alaska and Raised in Houston, Texas, Ben began his love affair with music after his mother discovered the gift that she possessed had been inherited. Ben’s mother was a Blue’s singer who traveled with the likes of B.B. King. This influence allowed Ben to learn the grassroots of Soul Music. He picked up a piano at the tender age of 12 and began learning the art form of music. At the age of 16, he formed a quartet Gospel Group and honed his singing gift. Soon after, Ben moved to LA to continue his journey. This began a new exciting chapter. It wasn’t long before he found himself working for the Top names in the music business. He started writing and producing for Grammy award winning Producers Babyface, and Rodney Jerkins. He has been fortunate to continue working and creating with many of the best including, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, The Avila Brothers, Keith Harris (of the Black Eyed Peas). By working for the best in the business, Ben began molding into the writer and producer that he is today.
