Ben Simmons

Hailing from St. Albans in the United Kingdom, the passionate singer/songwriter effortlessly combines his love for contemporary soul, blues and folk to form a sound bursting with artistic integrity.
Obsessed with the subtle intricacies of writing, he discovered his passion for music when he found his mother's old acoustic guitar in the attic of his childhood home.

Since forming a connection with BBC Introducing in the Midlands, Ben has achieved some impressive milestones including a label signing, playing on a sold out main stage at The Engine Shed and featuring on stages at 2Q Festival and the BBC Make a Difference Awards.

In 2021, Ben released his "most personal, soul inducing record" to date. An EP which captures a lifetime, taking two full years to write and produce - Aligning Fires.
Mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios, the record invents new ways to explore the past, present, and future versions of an individual, as well as conveying subjects of youth, self care, loss, commitment and reflection.

Recently, the young artist has found solace in cinema and plans for the next chapter to be inspired by film, cinematic feelings and movie scenes.

The songwriter draws inspiration from a wide selection of favourite artists/bands such as John Mayer, Patrick Droney, KALEO and Jack Savoretti.
