He released a single in the middle of 2018 followed up with a 5 track debut EP "Brazos County Bound" in 2018 and a 7 song album "Secrets, Whiskey & Lies" released in March of 2021.
Ben spent months playing acoustic shows and small band shows before forming the current band that backs him. Ben's band consists of Sam Chance on drums, Noah McNabb and Dakota Hernandez on electric guitars ,and Cody McCallister on bass guitar. Hailing from across the state of Texas and Mississippi, they each bring their own strengths and stories that go into creating their on-stage sound.

He treats the craft of songwriting like a puzzle, trying to find the best way to make the pieces fit while weaving a meaningful story throughout the song. His first major cut as a songwriter is one he previously released on his own project "Brazos County Bound".
