In January 2009 Ben decided it was time to follow his heart and his desire to release some of his original Christian music.  2 months later he signed to Lizard Music & set about recording a 4 track EP.  His debut single ‘Lead Me Lord’, based on the hymn by Samuel Sebastian Wesley, was released on 1st December 2009 to Australian Christian radio and rose to #1 on the Australian iTunes ‘Inspirational’ charts.

In April 2010, just before his debut appearance at Easterfest, his song ‘Alpha & Omega’ won the ‘Songs That Unite’ competition run by the Uniting Church in Australia.
