Ben Clark

Set to release February 2, 2010.  Pre-order your copy today!!!

The harsh reality is that in 2010, there is little in Christian music to offer to offer to fans of male-driven Pop Music (Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson). Which is perfect timing for the arrival of Ben Clark.

Upon his return from a three-month pilgrimage to California, Ben Clark followed his passion – writing music that reflects his love and faith in Jesus. Ben has honed his skills as a member of his church worship team, and came back to Ontario to begin crafting his self-titled debut album, a collaboration with esteemed producer Bori Afolabi (Firelife, Ryan Neville) and Farsight Entertainment.

Ben is a prolific singer/songwriter that has shared the stage with international acts, including Starfield, Phil Wickham and Carried Away.

For Fans of: Newsboys, tobyMac, Justin Timberlake
