Heavily influenced by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson, Georgia native Ben Deignan grew up as a soul junky. It wasn't until seeing U2 in concert at the age of 15 that he began to dive into the world of rock, picking up the family’s six-string, forming various garage bands in junior high and blossoming into an artist with a sound that’s turning heads and winning fans around the world. Ben was first discovered by Atlanta-based vocal coach/vocal producer Jan Smith, who tends to some of the most distinctive voices in the business, including Usher, Rob Thomas, Justin Bieber, Drake, Ciara, Keri Hilson, India.Arie, and Collective Soul, and worked intensively with Ben for 5 years developing his voice. Ed Roland muses, "There’s an energy that just pours out of him... I saw a rock star up there tonight.”
The singer/songwriter has spent the last 5 years in Atlanta crafting a soulful pop/rock sound that’s all his own, and in addition to writing, recording, and touring nationally, Ben is frequently in London, working at Kensaltown Studios with their Grammy-winning songwriters and expanding his career into the UK. Constantly busy writing songs, recording, and playing shows, Ben continues to develop his music in new directions. Atlanta Journal Constitutions, Shane Harrison declares, "The buzz about Ben Deignan is blanketing the metro area like sausage gravy on a big fluffy biscuit. John Mayer was getting this kind of chatter back when he played as a virtual unknown, so catch Deignan on the way up."
With nearly 4 Million views of his music videos on YouTube, he's also developed a worldwide fan base throughout the US, UK, Europe, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and South America. On the recording side, Ben released a mixtape with the lead track "Money" garnering a flurry of industry attention which has Ben working with some the best songwriters and producers in Pop, Hip-Hop & R&B ahead of his debut release in 2012.
