Ben Westbeech Biography

Ben Westbeech is a male DJ, singer and producer originating from Bristol, but who now lives in London, UK. Trained as cellist and vocalist, his influences include House, Rock n Roll, punk, jazz and hip hop.

Ben gave a CD containing his first single "So good today" to a friend in London. Two months later she played it to Gilles Peterson who snapped it up. This led to Ben being signed to Gilles Peterson's new label, Brownswood Recordings. His debut album Welcome to the Best Years of Your Life was released in March 2007.

He later appeared on Later... with Jools Holland alongside Paul McCartney and Bjork. He also appeared on the track "Squeeze Me" on Kraak & Smaak's album titled Plastic People, released in April 2008.

More recently, he appeared on the track "I can see", which was the main single for Jazzanova's album titled "Of all the things", released in January 2009 on Verve/Universal. Ben is currently DJ-ing around the world as well as writing a new album.
