I'm Ben and I'm the baby of the band. Not only do I bring my music to the group, but I bring a bit of cheek too! And some
naughtiness! I'm happy most of the time and I don't think you'd ever see me not smiling 'cause I love what I'm doing! I've
always wanted to do this career ever since I can remember. I grew up on my mum's Tracy Chapman records, but whatever singers
I heard I'd try to imitate. I became head chorister of St Margaret's Westminster Abbey which meant I got a lot of attention.
I loved it! I sang for the Pope, the Queen and for royal weddings and charities. I've also been on radio, television shows
like Barrymore and documentaries too - but I'd only ever listen to my bit then switch off! I recorded two classical CDs which
are my pride and joy - until the a1 CD comes out! Because I went to an arty school, I did a lot of acting both in plays and
musicals as well - my best performance was as the MC in a musical called Cabaret and I spent a week in character! I was still
at school when I joined a1. Mark introduced me to our manager, I sang a cappella - a Tracy Chapman song, of course - and was
asked to join up there and then! Being in a1 is excellent, everything I've ever dreamed of!
