Ben Fuller:
Music transformed Ben Fuller’s life in ways he never imagined. Growing up on a dairy farm in Southern Vermont, he worked alongside his father, singing classic country tunes to pass the time. Between farm chores and college, he picked up a guitar and found his calling. However, generations of family pain led Ben to struggle with addiction, turning to cocaine and alcohol at a young age. A destructive relationship in 2015 and the heartbreaking loss of his best friend to a heroin overdose in 2017 shifted his perspective. Determined to change, Ben moved to Nashville in 2018 to pursue a career in country music. Invited to church by a close family, he felt a calling to create faith-inspired music and embraced a relationship with Jesus. Now sober, Ben shares his story of hope, mercy, and grace through songs, fueled by a mission to inspire others with the transformative power of faith.
