100 Wardour St Live Presents: Ben Brown

WHEN: 01-01-1970

Ben Brown is a singer-songwriter from London who blends neo-soul, disco and pop elements to create an exciting and infectious sound consisting of soulful vocal melodies and funky guitar licks. He has described his music as ‘feel-good music, intended to make you swagger around the kitchen with a skip in your step!’ Ben plays on ‘tongue & cheek’ lyrical themes to keep the vocal as bright as the groove it sits on.

He has drawn influence from a variety of genres: from pop superstar Bruno Mars, to Tom Misch in the neo-soul scene, as well as funk & acid jazz band Jamiroquai. Honing his unique performance style on the London scene, Ben delivers an upbeat set designed to get audiences moving. Record of the Day described Ben’s style as ‘breezy and easy-going with cleverly crafted lyrics’.

Ben’s first 3 singles all hit the top 15 in the iTunes singer-songwriter charts, subsequently gaining traction in the UK scene in Summer 2018 playing at Sundown Festival and opening the main stage at Mutiny Festival. His single ‘Answerphone’ took his career to new heights, being played across BBC Radio London, West Midlands & Wales. Ben performed it live on national radio on talkRADIO’s James Whale show, along with the rest of his EP ‘Neo Horizon’.
