Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my page. To tell you a little about myself, I am originally from Burlington, North Carolinia but I moved to Georgia in 1999 to fulfill God's call for my life in the ministry. I have been in the music ministry for 8 years and my desire is to share the Gospel through my music. I have been on staff at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Bowman, GA, Trinity Baptist Church in Danielsville, GA, and The Church at Southside in Arcade, Ga but I am currently the worship leader at Green Acres Baptist Church in Athens, Georgia. Just this year, I became a member of the Nashville Songwritters Association where already two of my songs, "Return to Me" and "Thank You," have been chosen to have a chance to be heard at the Quarterly Publisher's Luncheon. The first song, "Return to Me," is a new recording produced by Don McCollister at Nickel and Dime Studios in Atlanta, GA and one of the songs that has received great reviews by NSAI. "Thank You," "Hold On To Me," "It Is Him," and "Reflection" were all produced by Scotty Wilbanks. "Thank You" recently was played at NSAI's Quarterly Publishers Luncheon, where 40 music row publishers listened to the song. A copy of the song was taken by one of those publishers who was interested so hopefully something will happen with that. The final song on the page, "The Gift" is a song that I wrote about a little boy, Peyton, that is battling cancer. Besides my music, I work full-time for Ben McLeroy and Associates in Athens, Georgia as a Land Surveyor. I have my LSIT liscence and will be taking my Registered Land Surveyor exam in October. I also make the stew at my wife's family's resturant, Zeb's BBQ located in Danielsville. I have been married to my wife, Brooke, for six years and we have two boys, Charley(3) and Casen(2).
Enter into a realm where fantasy & reality coexist in harmony together ~ Simultainiously synchronized to enhance the very synapse of endorphins that will ultimately elevate you into a sanctuary of ecstatic self fulfillment ~ inner peace ~ & unconditional love that exists as you will transcend beyond a simple listening pleasure ~ You are always welcome inside my Ashram / Asylum ~ I hope you like my tunes !
I have a new tune on my other myspace called 'Jazzy Blue' ~
This is the first time I've gotten to record within my brand spanking new ~ totally optimized Ashram / Asylum ~ & I must say with this updated digital recording facility & some new axes to grind ~ it is truly a luxury at it's finest ~ at least it is for me me me !!!!! So here it is ~ just a rhythm track I'd made over the last couple of days ~ in order to acclimate myself with all the new toys I now have at my disposal . . . I'll be writing lots of new lyrics as well as new music ~ for both of my upcoming projects ~ the follow-up to my debut CD now available on Moiko Records ~ it's a new concept album I've been (Ben) working on for over a year & a half ~ as well as the awesome new version of The Altruistic Messiah's latest touring band ~ a line up consisting of life long friends & a few of the most amazingly talented new individuals I have just recently had the honor to become associated with ! I am always wishing each & every one of you the very best ~ & this continues to be the primary focus of any & all communication between us as individuals ~ it is my belief that this concern is fundamental in the advancement of humanity ~ & that this is the reason we are alive ~ that this is what we are living for ~ as human nature must transcend into something greater than it ever has been (Ben) ~ as every single one of us collectively evolve into everything we are destined to realize ~ & we must leave no man or woman behind ~ STOP WAR ~ I know I go way off the beat & path often ~ but I love everyone !!!!!! Peace, Ben P.S. PLease don't forget to attend my CD Release Party at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip ~ It starts at 3:00 P.M. November 1st & of course YOU ARE INVITED !
