Ben Waites knows what it means to overcome obstacles—not as a motivational slogan, but as a way of life. Born with arthrogryposis, he’s never walked a day in his life. But from an early age, he found a different way to move people—through music.

For over 25 years, Ben has been a working artist, vocal coach, and storyteller. His career has taken him from small-town churches to national television on America’s Got Talent. Along the way, he’s recorded multiple albums, toured full-time, and coached hundreds of singers to find their voice and own their story.

Ben’s coaching style is rooted in honesty, clarity, and real-world results. His approach blends years of experience on the road, time in the studio, and the kind of hard-earned wisdom that only comes from doing the work. He helps artists cut through the noise, connect with audiences, and build skills that stand up in real-world settings.

At The Artist Path, Ben helps artists focus on what’s in their control, stay grounded in the process, and develop the tools they need to stand out—not just on stage, but in the industry and in their creative life.
