BEN The Real

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My mum would always sing to me little songs she made up - so the songwriting part is probably that. And when I was around 3 I got a little keyboard for Christmas, there's a photo of it, check it out on instagram:) What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Coldplay, A Head Full of Dreams Coldplay, Ghost Stories Coldplay, Mylo Xyloto You guessed it I'm a Coldplay fan:) They blend the alternative pop/rock sound with electronic elements beautifully. That's what I'm trying to do approximately - singer/songwriter type stuff with my own producing spin on it. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Been There Before” On the day I was about to finish this song, nothing really worked out. I forgot my camera, my laptop was dying and it was horrible weather but I went to the studio nevertheless. Funny enough, the song is also about being hopeful in the hopelessness. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? There are many, but once I wrote a musical and then I watched the premiere. It was weird but pretty awesome to listen to my songs while sitting in the theatre. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Writing songs that people resonate with is already awesome. But a huge stadium show would be nice + a collab with Coldplay in any way.
