Ben’s love of music began at age nine with an Iron Maiden mixtape and years singing in a church choir. Hearing a friend’s band play Metallica sparked his passion for rock, leading him from a Spanish acoustic guitar to his first electric and a lifelong journey in music. After 20 years as an RE teacher supporting students’ musical growth, Ben has run The Rock Project across South Wales since 2017—managing the Swansea, Cardiff, and Carmarthen franchises and serving as safeguarding officer for The Rock Project UK. He also gigs regularly with Swansea covers band The Flames and occasionally wins Will Ferrell lookalike contests!
