You don’t always know where the road will take you. This is certainly true of Ben Sigston. An ex-Canadian National Team cyclist, Ben turned to music after a university athletic scholarship went awry.
Growing up in North Vancouver, Ben spent most of his time training in the fresh mountain air. After a few successes, including a World Cup win, Sigston was awarded an athletic scholarship to a mid-western US university. However, not long after attending, his life blew apart.
Within a few months, a pressure-filled environment, punishing physical training and two near death experiences took their toll, leading Sigston to some serious soul searching and an alteration in course. “It seemed evident to me that I had to change my circumstances,” Ben says “I jumped on a plane and went back to Vancouver. I quit biking, sold all of my gear, and used the money to buy a guitar.”
This abrupt life change wasn’t as random as it might appear, as Sigston had been heavily influenced by music his entire life. He began piano lessons at the age of five, followed by the drums. There was always music in the house – the Beatles, Bob Dylan, as well as his dad’s own band, holding practices in the basement.
In fact, in Ben’s world, music and athleticism have always been inextricably intertwined. When his focus shifted to music, lyrics and sound became his outlet. Instead of training away his frustrations and emotions, Ben began to write about them.
Over the last seven years, Ben has been relentlessly pursuing and refining his writing process. His music is filled with juxtapositions that compare and contrast thoughts, feelings and reflections.
“For me, music is so powerful. It’s a way to see into a situation or an experience that can be related to individually. It’s the artist’s job to internalize an even and then to recreate it…to express it.”
Whether expressing simple ideas, or wide-ranging thoughts, Sigston has an uncanny ability to convey himself through the melody of song. His music successfully cuts through the noise of modern existence, and extracts simple, universal truths: hope, love, redemption and the search for meaning.
Ben’s debut EP Free Now (available on iTunes — check it out!) features 8 amazing songs, and is the product of five years of writing and over 150 songs. ICYDK has three autographed CDs to give away.

Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper get affectionate following another joint workout session. At one point the couple spots the photographer and appears surprised to be caught together.
Renee has joined Bradley in Vancouver, where he is filming the A-Team remake. I just don’t like them together! She’s just so uninteresting to me. I want to see him with someone more … I dunno, exciting? Look at that look on her face below! She’s evil! She must have put a spell on him…that must be it.

In 2007, several risqué photographs of Hudgens, including one full-frontal nude shot, surfaced on the Internet. Hudgens issued a public apology and moved on, reputation intact. But the photos have followed her, with a second set appearing online in August. “Whenever anybody asks me, would I do nudity in a film, if I say that it’s something I’m not comfortable with, they’re like, ‘Bullshit, you’ve already done it.’ If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It’s screwed up that someone screwed me over like that,” she adds, sighing. “At least some people are learning from my mistakes.”

Taylor Swift says she would meet with Kanye West, who famously interrupted her during Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.
“Sure,” she said on ABC’s The View Tuesday. “I mean, he has not personally reached out or anything.”
Asked about the incident, Swift, 19, said, “I think my overall thought process went something like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I won. This is awesome. Don’t trip and fall. I’m going to get to thank the fans. This is so cool. Oh, Kanye West is here! Cool haircut.’”
Then as he spoke – telling audiences that Beyonce deserved to win – Swift said she thought, “‘What are you doing? … Ouch.’ And then, ‘I guess I’m not gonna get to thank the fans.”
She said she was appreciative of all the support she received.
Said Swift, “All the artists came and showed me love and all the people Tweeting about it … all the fans … I never imagined there were that many people out there looking out for me, defending me so I didn’t have to.”
As for West, 32, he told Jay Leno Monday night that he’s taking “some time off” to figure out the reasons behind his behavior.
“I am a celebrity and that’s just something I’m going to have to deal with,” he said.
