Ben Franklin’s soulful sound emerges from a lifelong dedication to music. Raised in Houston, Texas by a world-traveling performer for BB King and many other blues artist, Franklin taught himself piano and trumpet by age 12. By 16, he was performing locally and producing tracks, later earning a music degree from Full Sail University. Now a Grammy-nominated producer, singer-songwriter and artist, Franklin’s adventurous production continues to shape popular music and propel big industry names to new heights.
To me, soul music is anything that is made from the heart, and therefore moves the listener; it's not overly self-aware, and leaves room for the listener to make their own conclusions.
I've always been a firm believer that soul music never dies. The artists we still listen to today, years after their music was first heard are mostly soul artists; Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan. We still sing along to all of them with our hearts.
I love singing. It makes me feel good. It's like a release, especially when I'm singing soul music.
People keep putting limitations on themselves and creating this reality that soul music is dead. That's only in their reality. It's not true. To me, Adele is R&B. Bruno Mars is R&B. It's just good songwriting and songs. That is going to last.
