Ben Griffith
Beat Of My Heart

unsigned/ Cakewalk

WE SAY

Brighton-based singer songwriter Ben Griffith has received huge exposure from his involvement in the current Ford Focus ad campaign. Not only have the typical sync benefits have had an immediate impact on his profile, it has also led to further coverage such as this feature in Q Magazine (which explores why he agreed to the use of his music and face in the adverts), the release of his EP and funding of his tour. He goes on a 12 date nationwide UK tour next month and his debut EP Tea and Sympathy is released on his own Cakewalk Records then aswell. There's a lot to enjoy about his gentle brand of relaxed melodic songwriting. JF London gig: October 17 Nambucca, N7
