Ben has been singing for as long as he can remember, even as a young child making up his own gibberish to songs on the radio. While music was always his natural language, his formal journey began at age nine when he was scouted by the prestigious Flanders Boys Choir. His seven years with the choir were transformative, refining his vocal technique and instilling the discipline that defines his professional sound today.
As he grew, so did his influences. After years of immersing himself in EDM and Rap, his taste shifted toward the raw energy of Alt-Rock and Grunge around the age of sixteen. This evolution led to a defining moment in 2023: joining the stage at Passion4Drums to perform Limp Bizkit’s "Take a Look Around," with his father on drums.
The single performance that changed everything.
Spotted by the drummer of Blanck, Ben was invited to become the band’s lead singer, marking the true start for his musical career. While preparing for their first show, he taught himself rhythmic guitar, a move that not only filled out the band’s live sound but also gave him the foundation to begin performing as a solo artist.
In the search for an authentic sound, Ben and his bandmates began writing original material for Blanck, leaning heavily into their shared Alt-Rock and Grunge roots. This creative evolution shaped his identity as an artist, resulting in the gritty, melodic signature heard in Blanck’s debut single "Blowfish" and his own debut solo release, "spiral."
