The first thing you notice is the voice. Haunting and sublimely otherworldly, it stops you in your tracks proving that sometimes the intoxicating simplicity of a single voice is all you need to make an impact. With Benjamin Francis Leftwich, that hypnotic, breathy voice is the reason for it all. Not just your average singer-songwriter then.

Growing up on a diet of Rolling Stones and Nina Simone, Benjamin discovered Bob Dylan and Elliot Smith in his teens, starting work as a solo artist at 18 and beginning to write what now makes up his debut album ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm'.

After releasing his debut EP ‘A Million Miles Out' at the end of 2010, he quickly found himself on the most prestigious playlists around as Radio 1DJs Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton fell for Benjamin's assuming charms. He was also added to XFM's Evening Playlist, while Jo Whiley made Benjamin's track ‘Atlas Hands' one of her Tracks of 2010 and he was also asked to record a live session for Radio 2's Dermot O'Leary.

Benjamin's stunning second EP, 'Pictures' led to tour support with Noah & The Whale, the lead track from the EP made Hottest Record In The World on Zane Lowe's radio show and playlisted for the Radio 1 ‘In New Music We Trust'. Debut album 'Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm' won critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, NME and Radio 1.
