It’s hard to believe that it’s been four years since a marquee erector from Whitstable swapped the seaside for the X-Factor stage, in an achievement that saw a man become a local hero. This man is of course Ben Mills.
After just missing out on the £1,000,000 recording contract with infamous judge Simon Cowell, Ben hit the studio and crafted his debut album ‘Picture of You’, but unfortunately it didn’t do as well as hoped. His new album ‘Freedom’ however, has been 3 years in the making and he’s been showcasing his new material in numerous gigs up and down Kent. This culminated in one big show at the Gulbenkian theatre in Canterbury, which received a terrific turnout and good reviews from critics. Ben has received praise on his unique voice, and also that he could be the new Rod Stewart of the music world.
On the new album, he has worked with the Mark Owen of Take That fame and a writer that has previously worked with the incredible talent that is James Morrison. Ben’s self-penned songs are really honest and beautiful and would probably shock some of his critics.
Ben is now set to headline at the Bands of the Belmont in Whitstable. This will be a nice treat for his supportive local fans that have given him so much encouragement in his career.He will be making copies of his new album available to purchase here. It will first be released locally and then be taken nationally too see if it can gain a place in the official UK album chart.
