He was just about to go on-stage in Manchester, and he was not feeling very well and he still took the time to come and say, "Thanks for coming, nice to see you." Celebrity you'd still like to meet: I'd love to meet Tracy Chapman, and I won't stop going on about her until I finally do meet her! Number one musical hero: Michael Jackson. The answer to everything is: 10! Ben says: I'm Ben and I'm the baby of the band. Not only do I bring my music to the group, but I bring a bit of cheek too! And some naughtiness! I'm happy most of the time and I don't think you'd ever see me not smiling 'cause I love what I'm doing! I've always wanted to do this career ever since I can remember. I grew up on my mum's Tracy Chapman records, but whatever singers I heard I'd try to imitate. I became head chorister of St Margaret's Westminster Abbey which meant I got a lot of attention. I loved it! I sang for the Pope, the Queen and for royal weddings and charities. I've also been on radio, television shows like Barrymore and documentaries too - but I'd only ever listen to my bit then switch off! I recorded two classical CDs which are my pride and joy - until the a1 CD comes out! Because I went to an arty school, I did a lot of acting both in plays and musicals as well - my best performance was as the MC in a musical called Cabaret and I spent a week in character! I was still at school when I joined a1. Mark introduced me to our manager, I sang a cappella - a Tracy Chapman song, of course - and was asked to join up there and then! Being in a1 is excellent, everything I've ever dreamed of! |
