Ben Feeney was born and raised in Houlton, Maine. He started his percussion career by constantly banging on pots and pans as a baby. Ben took up percussion seriously in the 5th grade only because it was the absolute coolest instrument in the band. After taking First Chair in the Aroostook County band for 3 years, Ben went off to high school, where he sang in chorus, the award-winning show choir, and played percussion in the band. At the University of Maine, Ben was a member of the University Singers and the University's premiere vocal group, the Maine Steiners. It was there that he developed his ridiculous vocal percussion skills, and helped produce two CDs. In his junior year, he was recognized by the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella as the Best Vocal Percussionist. In his spare time, he loves to golf, ski, work out, and play guitar.
