An emerging artist on the contemporary Catholic music scene, Ben Govero’s music introduces a fresh view on the struggles and joys of following Christ. 

Ben grew up in rural Missouri near St. Louis.  A musician since the age of 6, he always seemed to have a creative flair.  After playing piano for several years, Ben picked up the guitar and started to play and sing at the age of 14.  He is currently studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he is majoring in Theology, writing and playing music, and seeking a closer relationship with God. 

In 2003 Ben’s submission for the 2004 Franciscan University Youth Conference theme song was chosen.  The song, “Rise Up,” encourages this generation of Catholics to actively and boldly live and proclaim the gospel message.  His recording of “Rise Up” along with 8 other original songs and one cover can be found on his debut album, “Revolution,” released in May of 2004. 

Ben has also appeared on the Catholic Familyland Television show “His Love,” with host and musician Marty Rotella.
