Activism, music and spirituality are a wonderful trinity.Ben Harper
Activism, music and spirituality are a wonderful trinity. Spirituality is the arrival point of my pursuit, music is my method of understanding how to get there and activism is a way of ensuring that I don’t stop.
I was eighteen when I grabbed my guitar and a rucksack and got on a plane to London and started my musical journey. I hoped that one component to my music could be a form of conversation with a world that needs to be preserved.
“With My Own Two Hands” reflects my deep desire to protect the environment while fighting social and cultural disparities. I wanted to describe the change that people can make with their own two hands, to collectively make the world a brighter place.
As a musician, I think there is a way to present art that can be a window to a perspective, and I feel a responsibility to keep that window clean and open.
Spirituality is the arrival point of my pursuit, music is my method of understanding how to get there and activism is a way of ensuring that I don’t stop.
