Ben spent a large portion of his formative years touring the world with Warner-signed, alt-indie band Coasts. Having played prestigious events such as Coachella, Glastonbury and Reading and with a top 20 album and a live-lounge performance under their belts the band split in October 2018 and he moved into the world of event management, promotions and festivals.

Late in 2018 Ben founded a new venue in Norwich, called Voodoo Daddys. A dive bar, pizza joint and music venue all under one roof! Ben took over the bookings and the management of the event space. In 2019, Ben organised and directed the first Wild Paths Festival. A 23-venue, musical event spread across the city of Norwich, featuring over 230 live acts from indie, hip-hop and neo-soul, to post-punk and new-wave jazz. Wild Paths features visual artists, a host of conference speakers, DJs, food pop-ups and much more. Last year, Ben and his team delivered Wild Fields - a new socially conscious music festival set in a city-centre park. Headliners included Ezra Collective, Kae Tempest and SBTRKT and a solar-powered bus stage from festival partners Climate Live UK. The festival won Best New Festival at the UK Festival Awards and now there's a number of new projects in the pipeline!
