Ben Montague was born in Farnborough, Kent in 1983. Son to a musical family, he threw himself into sporting life, growing up with a football at his feet, a tennis racket in one hand, and guitar in the other. Blessed with an acute sense of melody and a killer vocal, Ben had fierce ambitions to one day perform with stars as big as those in his old mans record collection (The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Elton John.)

A mild dyslexic, his sporting and musical prowess helped him get on in school. Music slowly but surely became his primary focus, and once his education was out of the way, Ben jumped into a van and toured around the UK. The dream began turning into reality when he was spotted performing in Soho and got the money needed to make his first EP featuring the track Haunted co-written with friend Jamie Hartman of Bens Brother. This song landed the coveted Record of the Week spot on BBC Radio 2. Things then really started to fall into place when follow up single Broken hit Radio 2s A list for 6 weeks.

In recent times Ben has been working hard playing live and gathering new fans. He headlined The Isle of Wight Festivals acoustic stage, the Riverside Stage at Cornbury, and recently jetted out to Milan for F1 Rocks to support The Stereophonics.

As this rocket fuelled year comes to a close, Ben is now feverishly writing new material, adrenalised and expectant of a huge 2011.
