Getting to know Ben Provest

Melbourne singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Ben Provest has unveiled a brand new single and music video, Trying To Be Brave. We asked him to tell us about himself:

I am… Ben Provest, an Australian born singer-songwriter. I write, produce and perform my own music, as well as produce and perform for other artists and bands. I have been doing this since I was a teenager and still love doing it!  

2025 has been… a year of exploration and collaboration. I’ve been writing with a lot of new artists who have really inspired me to grow and create new music.

‘Trying To Be Brave’ is… a song about having faith that things will work out, specifically in the context of a relationship, but more broadly in life.

Home is… currently between Melbourne, and Nashville, TN.

I spend too much time… worrying about the future. Releasing this song is part of not doing that, focusing on the present and putting myself out there. 

I have never… gone to Patagonia, but I saw an amazing documentary about an Australian from Melbourne who rode a motorcycle from Alaska to Patagonia and it made me want to do that. It was called “The Road To Patagonia”.
