Worcester's Ben Goodwin began his musical journey at the age of 11 and it seems that fate has had a huge part to play in his blossoming career.

Whilst out busking, following his graduation from university, a phone number was mysteriously placed in with his money. Ben called the number, later that day, and it was Worcester producer Sheldon Herron. Sheldon鈥檚 girlfriend had seen Ben on the high street and thought his voice would be perfect for her partner鈥檚 productions, so she took out her phone and recorded Ben in action. Knowing he wouldn't get into town in time, Herron called a local shop and asked them to pass on his number!

Interestingly, Ben never initially fancied himself as a singer: "I always wanted to be a guitarist," he nervously admits - and cites Van Halen being an unlikely influence. His music is beautifully soulful, and according to the 大象传媒 Introducing Uploader, his inspirations include Frank Ocean, Weeknd, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, Joss Stone, Ben Howard, Nao, James Blake, Adele, Justin Timberlake, John Mayer and James Arthur.

鈥淗armonic and soulful tracks backed up by an epic production that could so easily hit the top of the charts鈥� - Andrew Marston.
