“You know in the end, I would have cut you in. Too bad you won’t last long.†croons Metis singer/songwriter Ben Graham. “Cut You In†the title track of his debut EP is a modern rock track tapping into a slew of personal misadventures.
In the spring of 2006, high school student Ben G. then 17, known primarily for his interest in photography, disappeared from high school for one week. Upon returning, no one expected what he was about to reveal, the songs created during the trip were an unexpected revelation. The response was undeniable, before long he had 10,000 adds on myspace and people from across the globe inquiring about his music. Ben was soon featured in media write ups, articles and interviews, both in print and on the radio. Both in the U.S and Canada.
In the summer of 2007, Ben returned to the studio to record with world renowned producer/multi-instrumentalist, Dave Thompson. He is known for his production, songwriting and mixing work with artists world wide such as Liesa Norman (Koch Records), Theresa Sokyrka (Maple/Universal - Canadian Idol) Leslie Carter (of House Of Carters.) and High Holy Days (Roadrunner/Universal).
The result is an eclectic blend of organic songs resonating with love, angst and the pursuit of an ideal. Dave contributed additional instrumentation and song structures to the songs Ben wrote; resulting in a very emotionally charged EP.
With spirit filled songs, like "Addiction" and "Cut You In", Ben proves to be a provocative and unpredictable songwriter, his music encourages smooth melodies that encompass brilliant chorus hooks and intense crescendos. Along with songs like "Let me go" and "Live Through This", Ben shows a maturity in song writing which sets him apart from many current acts.
