BIOGRAPHY
Ben Heppel aka 'Stickleback' , started his music
career at 15, playing his first gig as a lead
guitarist in an unknown local band. He progressed
quickly and formed Hanover Street, who soon became
'the' band on the local music scene, winning 'Battle
of the Bands' in 1996 and consequently gaining a first
release. After playing a variety of gigs including
GLASTONBURY Festival 3 times and supporting Hot
Chocolate, the band ran its course and Ben started to
focus more on electronic music.
Ben had another chance at live music with Headbound,
who quickly released an album and subsequently toured
extensively, playing at the MIDEM music festival in
Cannes, France and the famous WOMAD festival, to name
a couple in a large tour that included about 80 gigs
in the year 2000. Ben also promoted his own club night
in Bristol, England called "Unique". It gave unknown
producers the chance to play their music out in a club
situation. Today, Ben is an experienced writer /
producer who likes to push the boundaries of Dub,
Funk, Latin, Breakbeat and Drum and Bass.
In 2000, Ben got his first release as 'Stickleback' on
Slalom Recordings, a compilation album of UK
producers. Now to 2004 and Ben has since created mix's
for the world leading Aussie independent " Blue Pie
Productions " ... Damien Reilly says he is one of the
greatest exports to land on Australia's shores since
Moby paid us a visit. He will be a major force in
INDIGENOUS music for many years to come. Ben is in
great company with projects underway for Blue pie's
indigenous label " INDIGENOUS BLUE " and for artists
like Grammy winner " Janice Marie " , Blue Pie's Sahra
, working with Australia's leading indigenous artist "
David Hudson " .
2005 is the year the world music of Stickleback makes
its way to the airwaves. Ben is working with some of
the worlds best including Senegal's own Seydina Insa
Wade, David Hudson, Janice Marie and Dorinda Hafner.
Ben is working on the new INDIGENOUS BLUE Album with
Damien Reilly from Blue Pie and this is set to do
great business all over the world. Keep listening ...
Stickleback is swimming to your ears.
