Looking for my people πŸ‘€ Hi πŸ‘‹ I'm Ben Lawrence, from Norwich, UK. I make music and films. In 2016 I lost my twin brother Dan to cancer, aged 25. Since then I've been writing songs about my journey through grief and now I want to share them with people who need to hear some hope. Maybe that's you? If so, let's connect 🀝 You can stream my debut album 'O Wide World' everywhere now. I hope these songs inspire you, carry you and help you keep on moving. And let me know if you're new here or been listening for a while, I'd love to chat ☺️ Keep on moving. ~ Ben #connection #newmusic #musiciansofinstagram

A year ago today I released my debut single 'O Wide World'. It's been a wild ride since then putting out some of the most emotionally charged music and film of my life. Thanks to everyone who has streamed, watched and cheered me on - couldn't have done it without you. Who wants a deluxe version of the album? πŸ˜… We have some more tricks up our sleeve to keep celebrating this mammoth record β€” so keep your eyes πŸ‘€ peeled. Keep on moving. ~ Ben #debutsingle #newmusic #indiefolk

OUT NOW my debut album O WIDE WORLD 🌍 This is your soundtrack now 🎢 I wrote this album after losing my twin brother Dan to cancer in 2016 when he was only 25 - I miss him every day. And although these songs are about grief and loss, they're also about life, hope and a thirst for adventure, even in the face of tragedy. They've been the soundtrack to my story and now they're yours. I hope you'll take some time out of your day to listen to it all the way through and truly let it sink in. I'd love to hear from you too, feel free to send me a message or a comment, it would be so lovely to know how these songs are connecting with you. Here's what you should do πŸ‘‡ β€’ Go stream or download 'O Wide World' on your favourite platform (links in my bio) πŸ’Ώ β€’ Send someone you love your favourite track or tag them in the comments πŸ€— β€’ Bag yourself some of my merch (links in the bio too!) πŸ›οΈ β€’ Be kind to yourself, others and this wide world we live in 🌍 Thanks for sharing this momentous day with me. Keep on moving. ~ Ben #newmusic #indiefolk #folkmusic #indiemusic

nice to meet you πŸ‘‹ long story short, in 2016 I lost my twin brother Dan to cancer. It was the hardest time of my life, but from that I wrote lots of songs to help me process. In 2023 I released my debut album and now I've just put out the expanded edition O Wide(r) World, with 19 tracks on it in total including collabs with @Pyramid Park, Andy Lowe and benediction. It would be so cool if you went and had a listen. Thanks for stopping by. #newmusic #indie #folk #popmusic #fyp
