Ben Barnes, known for his roles in shows like 'Westworld' and 'The Punisher', has ventured into music with his debut album 'Where The Light Gets In'. At 43, he emphasizes that pursuing new interests can be a source of comfort for others, demonstrating it's never too late. His music blends pop and soulful sounds, influenced by artists like Elton John and The Rolling Stones. The collaboration with Maroon 5's James Valentine emerged serendipitously, reflecting Barnes' willingness to seize opportunities in his new career path.
The fact that I'm doing this new thing in my 40s is something that people have really found that they can take some kind of comfort in.
I found myself talking about that more and more - about just getting out and doing the thing that makes you happy, because our time is very precious on this planet.
Now I'm doing this music thing, which is so much more and about sharing something of my authentic self, rather than hiding behind a character.
I ran after him in the parking lot, and I said, 'I'm putting together some music. Would you ever be interested in it?'
It's been gratifying to see my fans follow me into this new endeavor.
