Ben Abraham
<p>Ben Abraham is a singer-songwriter originally from Naarm/Melbourne, now based in Los Angeles. <br><br>He spent his early years as an independent artist in his hometown, eventually crowd-funding his first album Sirens. This caught the attention of US indie label Secretly Canadian and major publisher Sony/ATV, who started putting him in writing rooms for other artists. This led to cuts on records by Demi Lovato, The Chicks, Ben Platt and Wafia. One of his songs for Kesha - her comeback single "Praying", co-written with Ryan Lewis - currently sits at half a billion streams on Spotify. <br><br>In 2022, Ben’s second record was released on Atlantic Records, making him labelmates with Ed Sheeran, Cardi B & Coldplay. It’s an album that sees Ben reconciling his deeply-held faith with his identity as a queer person. In 2023, Ben was dropped by Atlantic. He now finds himself recalibrating his music career, returning to his roots as an independent artist and working alongside his parents to explore his Indonesian heritage. <br><br>Follow Ben Abraham: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/benbenabraham/">https://www.instagram.com/benbenabraham/</a> <br><br>Follow Tim Shiel: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/timshiel/">https://www.instagram.com/timshiel/</a><br><br>Watch this episode in full on YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/O165SngH2Bg">https://youtu.be/O165SngH2Bg</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
