He laces this with incredibly tight rap flows and raw, emotive and powerful singing vocals.

Benjamin’s latest endeavour was in his single ‘Homeless Winters’, which he partnered with the biggest homeless charity in the UK, Shelter. The music video was filmed/directed by Jonathan Pears, who has worked on some of the biggest films over the years in LA and was fresh off a set with Morgan Freeman and Gerrard Butler. Such was the quality of the video, it was exclusively released by VEVO.

BIG SPRING

Brighton based Big Spring was originally formed as a three piece in late 2015 by brothers Ollie and Alex Loring along with drummer Chris Steele. Taking influence from 90’s-esque fuzz drenched guitar riffs, Big Spring soon after released their debut single ‘Buzzards Leave the Bones.’

Upon hearing the song, Radio 1 Rock Show host Daniel P Carter made it his ‘Rockest Record’ and labelled the band as ‘the best new band in Britain.’

At this point Big Spring hadn’t played a live show, so they spent the first half of 2016 working on their live performance and writing more material. They then recruited guitarist Jack Rowan, completing the line up as a four piece.

After releasing their second single ‘On a Bamboo Sleeping Mat’, the band were invited to play at Reading & Leeds festival for only their fifth and sixth ever live performances.

This was followed by tours with Black Foxxes, Decade, The Xcerts and Turbowolf alongside various single releases.

The band announced at the start of 2018 that they were recording their debut EP which would be released mid 2018.
