A name is a good place
to start. His name is Ben Semmens, He’s from Pontypridd, South Wales in
the UK and he is a singer-songwriter.
His music? Well, Ben lets his music do the talking for him and many seem
to like what he has to say.
“His attitude for creating first and foremost quality music is an attitude
which has so far, judging by rave reviews and critical acclaim, stood him
in good stead for the future.” God is in the TV Zine
“….he has recorded what is destined to become one of the 'classic' love
songs of the twenty-first century.” Lee McFarland - Spin Magazine
“World class, starting a new music religion”- Plugged In Magazine
In early 2009 Ben released his debut album “Western Lights” and had a
staggering 60,000 downloads- worldwide- and without the assistance of a
label.
As it’s been said many-a time, the best advertising is word-of-mouth
advertising and many began to spread the word and this continues today.
And is growing. Word-of-mouth is becoming louder.
His music is difficult to categorize. And which might be a good thing. His
fans know and each song stands on its own and means something different to
everyone. Perhaps, you should let us know what you “hear” in them- and
what they mean to you?
2011 will see Ben Semmens recording his first solo EP in the U.S. and
playing venues around the country.
Whatever he does, wherever his music takes you, what’s always important to
remember that it’s music that has come straight from the heart of a
remarkably gifted singer-songwriter who believes in the power of a good
melody.
