“What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus?” asks Ben Cantelon. “Doesn’t it mean in some way that we allow our eyes to be opened? Doesn’t it mean that we are ready to see the world differently, to let our vision to be directed by God’s Spirit? Doesn’t it mean seeing it in colour - being open to the full range of possibilities, opportunities, needs and challenges that God has created us for?” As metaphors go, the idea of living life in full colour offers Ben Cantelon plenty of material. Throughout ‘Everything In Colour’ - his second full length album - the Canadian-born worship leader and songwriter, draws worshippers to a fuller, brighter view of God. Ben’s childhood was rich in both music and faith. His father, Brent, is pastor of Christian life Assembly church in Vancouver, a position he took over from his own father, Don Cantelon.

His musical talent was clear, although as a teenager Ben felt challenged to focus his artistic energy on worship alone. Having met and played keyboards with Tim Hughes while leading a conference in Vancouver, Ben was offered the opportunity of travelling with - and eventually joining full time - Soul Survivor, in Watford, on London’s northern outskirts. The move turned out to be a good one: “I’d never really led worship myself all that often before coming to the UK. Da capo ii plus communication torrent. People used to ask me to have a go, and I tried, but it wasn’t anything that I was really all that passionate about at the time. Still, after about 10 months of living in the UK I really felt the Lord say, ‘Ben, why aren’t you leading worship?’ To me it seemed that there were so many others who were great at it; why was I needed?

But God kept in pressing it and eventually I said ‘God, you have to do it – I’m not pushing any doors.’ So I left it there. “A week later I got a call from Mike saying that he felt God telling him that I needed to lead worship. It was incredible – a real God moment.” Seven years on and Ben is an established worship leader and songwriter within the UK and beyond. 2007 saw the release of ‘Daylight Breaks Through’ - an EP released under Kingsway’s Emerge label. Then there was the co-write of ‘Happy Day’ with Tim Hughes, a move from Soul Survivor to join Tim at Holy Trinity Brompton, London and marriage. As a familiar face within the Worship Central set up, Ben’s songs have continued to make an impact, and his 2009 debut full-length solo album - Running After You - brought further attention. 2011 marked the release of the debut live album from Worship Central, and Ben’s involvement in Spirit Break Out was clear.
