At age 20, Ben moved to Manitoba’s capital, Winnipeg. He acquired a right handed guitar from his late Uncle Roland and re-stringed it to meet his left handed needs. Finally, he could begin to write his own music. In the Fall of 2003, Ben wrote “Brag-able Ego”, one of his first songs and the oldest song on his self titled album. He continued to write over 30 songs throughout the years and only until now, has put 10 of what he thinks are the best on his first album simply titled, “Ben Wytinck”.

Son of a farmer, Ben learned to do things himself, his own way. Only when someone sits down with the album and absorbs it as a whole do they truly understand the term, “Labor of Love”. Ben wrote, composed, and produced the album all himself with help from some of Manitoba’s top musicians. He also created the art/design and packaging for the album. Still to this day, as you read this, he is assembling the CD cases (with a little help from his friends). Not only is his album a great listening experience, it is one the listener cannot help recognize as a piece of hard work, patiently done well - a rarity in today’s fast paced world.
