About

Embodying the assertive DIY attitude of punk rockers, but placed in a pop environment, Ben Kidson moves with the times, but never forgets where he came from. He shoots his own videos. He produces his own music. He makes his own artwork. He is occasionally very funny on social media, and his burgeoning fanbase are dedicated, enthralled by his distinctive DNA, which is etched across every track, shot, and witty instagram post. 

Raised by a father a full 50 years his senior, and a mother who spent 10 years performing in musical theatre in the west end, Ben combines his father’s perceptive intelligence, with his mother’s theatrical flair in his songwriting.

Having been featured in TV shows like “Killing Eve” & “Sticks & Stones”, Ben is beginning to make waves. Music blogs are, one by one, jumping on the Ben Kidson train, with PopMatters describing him as a “great hook writer with a wonderful pop sense”, while Sarah Gosling of BBC Introducing called him “catchy, well-produced, & well thought through.
