Hailing from London, England, 16-year-old Ben Harrison is an acoustic singer-songwriter making the most of his teenage years, and doing things that stretch far beyond that aforementioned adolescence.
After only picking up the guitar for the first time back in October 2019, Ben has gone on to start writing and demoing his own tracks. Whilst starting out on an electric guitar, he switched to an acoustic where he has developed a unique style of songwriting, with melodic chord progressions that suit his flexible tone of voice. His main influences are Jake Bugg, Johnny Marr, Alex Turner, and Richard Ashcroft, to name a few.
He began to start gigging early in 2020, taking up a regular open mic slot at the Cage, Reigate and then playing an eight-song set to a packed out 'Loft' at the Cage in February.
As well as his solo work, Ben is also the lead singer and guitarist in a band - The Interests, along with Ollie Downes (guitar), Joe Whitlock (bass), Ben Walker (drums) and Jack Dexter (keys). He first released music under that name with Disparity - Live which was a live recording of one of the band's songs that Ben played acoustically at his first-ever performance.
He released 'Capitulation' - a 3 track EP - in March 2020. With music in the works, there is much more to come.
