Beginning with his 1994 debut, Welcome To The Cruel World, Ben Harper began his career by releasing a string of eight studio albums creating all time hits such as "Burn one Down" "Another lonely day", "Waiting on an Angel", "Jah Work", "Excuse me Mister" or "Don't Give up on me Now". 

This extraordinary run, featuring the Innocent Criminals, established him as a singularly powerful songwriter, guitarist and performer, ranging across multiple genres such as gospel, funk, reggae, soul and rock and an unmatched ability to blend the personal and political. 

The awards poured in - Rolling Stone hailed his "jewels of unique and exquisitely tender rock & roll," while Entertainment Weekly praised his "casual profundity," and Billboard said his music "reminds us of the power and beauty of simplicity." 

Massive, international sold-out tours, Top 10 debuts in the US, Gold and Platinum certifications worldwide flagged Harper and the band's status as genuine global stars.
