A man of few words is one common statement about Ben Brookes Belcher. Ben is a singer songwriter/guitarist from Atlanta, GA. As a self supporting artist/musician he has an independent record label and recording studio in the basement of his home in Atlanta called “The Shack”. The label is “Timberwolf Records “. Ben needed a way to produce and release his own material. Since the music business is “age biased”, and no major label was going to sign an artist at his age. Ben also wanted to be able to help other artists reach their goals.
