Ben Whiting

Ben Whiting is what happens when a 90’s kid puts The Police and Bob Marley on high rotation, sits in a beanbag in an old aircraft hanger to watch his extended family play regular jam nights, and is then mentored in playing and touring from age 13.

Those early influences have guided and continue to teach him, and the result is a gifted singer-songwriter comfortable with using a broad palette of inspiration to create a sound that is wholly his own.

BW has played festivals such as Les Escales (France) , QueensCliff Music festival (Vic), National Folk Festival (Canberra) and supported artists such as Tash Sultana, Ash Grunwald, and many more.

He followed this period with a pivot to a folk aesthetic, and has now integrated his rock experience back into his songwriting and performances. The continual thread running throughout Whiting’s various artistic expressions is his ‘virtually flawless voice (Faster Louder), it cannot help but remain the standout feature.

Ben has several original music releases under his belt which he performs at his bigger shows but also loves to play cover versions of popular tunes and feels equally at home in smaller wedding and corporate event settings.
