Ben Williams was born and raised in California’s Bay Area. Although Nashville may seem far away for a “Cali kid”, his mother was born and raised nearby in Pegram and he grew up spending every summer there at his Grandmother’s house. Growing up, track and field was his number one priority. Ben attended Santa Clara University after graduating from high school where he competed in Division 1 Track and Field. Although he grew up playing music with his brother, it wasn’t until his Freshman year that he got out the keyboard and guitar and started writing songs every day. At the end of that first year, Ben decided to transfer to Belmont University in Nashville to continue running and also pursue a songwriting career. He graduated from Belmont in May of 2020 and signed a publishing deal with Major Bob Music in August. Ben’s passion for songwriting comes from his love of lyrics.
