∙ In 2006, during his first year of business school at the University of Arkansas, Rector released his self-titled debut EP.
∙ “Conversation,” a track from the Ben Rector EP, was awarded Grand Prize in the Pop category at the 2006 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

∙ Produced by ex-Evanescence member David Hodges and gospel music megaproducer Ed Cash, 2015’s Brand New cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard 200—a rare feat for a self-released album.
