Bio : Ben Barnes

A lifelong music fanatic, Ben began writing songs and working with producers and musicians at the age of just 19, however due to his flourishing acting career, he had never been able to release material in the way he wanted. Forthcoming album Where The Light Gets In was recorded at Apogee Studios in Santa Monica with the band all in a room together, including James Valentine and Sam Farrar (Maroon 5) who also produced the record along with drummer/manager, Paul Hamilton. Inspired by the soul and pop music he loves so much, the album is about the different stages of a relationship; beginnings, tension, sorrow, sex, love, endings, nostalgia. It’s about how our history and our scars configure to make us who we are in this moment. If a part of us has ever felt broken, we can mend...transforming ourselves into something more precious than we were before ....‘the cracks are where the light gets in’.
