On the motivation behind Save Your Sorries, Ben shared this deeply personal quote, "Growing up and discovering my sexuality I felt that I wasn't able to be open to myself or others. This lead me to explore my newly found feelings in secret, in the shadows. Vulnerable and isolated I put trust in the wrong people, which unfortunately led to one of my first sexual experiences being a violent and non-consensual encounter. I have hid from and tried to ignore this for far too long. Today in releasing "Save Your Sorries" I am hurling it into the light, with a roar; as loud as thunder."

With two EPs and an album under his belt, Ben has been hard at work, writing music alongside New Zealand artist, Gin Wigmore, he boasts over 1M views on YouTube, and has been featured in Popdust, Huffington Post, and The Advocate.
