Ben was raised in church and first started singing in the choir. He continued singing in the school chorus but didn't seriously pursue music after high school. It wasn't until he was 31 that he performed at an open mic on a whim and loved every second of it. He formed a duo and later his own five-piece band, the Ben Allen Band, which is now one of the biggest bands in southwest Florida. For the past 10 years, he has been a construction inspector by day and musician by night. Although Ben has had success in his band, he comes to "The Voice" to see if he has a shot at being a solo artist.
