About Me

Benjamin Squibbs is a singer songwriter from Newport South Wales. who writes songs about big cities, worldwide tradegies, being fed up with the american government and lost love.
"Ive never been interested in just writing about one subject, i always find artists more interesting if you can see what they think about everything they see and thats what i try to do"
He has currently recorded an album worth of tracks that will be released towards the end of the year and is already well into the writing and recording of his second full length
"My favourite artists have always been the ones where you can find a new album by them every single year. . . . . i once read a quote that said you can either be like Neil Young or Bruce Springstein. Neil Young will give you an album every year that will have 2 brilliant songs on there, 6 good ones and two not so good ones, where as Bruce will release an album every 5 years where there will be 8 brilliant songs on there and 2 good ones. . . .. hopefully i'll get to be like both and release an album every year with 10 important songs".
