The producer, singer, and songwriter Ben Tankard was born in 1964. Tankard’s original rise to fame was as a professional basketball player, but following his athletic career he turned to gospel and R&B and found great success with a number of solo albums, earning him multiple Grammy nominations and twelve Stellar Awards.
Known now as the “ Quincy Jones of Gospel,” Ben Tankard released his debut, All Keyed Up, in 1989. Over a dozen award-winning albums have followed, including: Keys to Life (1991), Play Me In Your Key (with Yolanda Adams, 1994), Git Yo Prayze On (1997), The Minstrel (1999), Song of Solomon (2001), Best of Ben (2002), Let’s Get Quiet (2007), Full Tank (2012), and Thicker Than Water – the Church Picnic (2013.) Tankard has also collaborated with some of the industry’s most notable artists, including Gerald Albright, Kelly Price, Take 6, and Shirley Murdock. His awards include Dove Awards for Instrumental Album of the Year, Contemporary Gospel/Urban Album of the Year, and Contemporary Gospel/Urban Song of the Year.
In addition to his achievements in music, Ben Tankard is also the author of two major works – “Faith It ‘til You Make It” (released 2012), and “The Full Tank Life” (scheduled for release in the fall of 2014.) Ben Tankard can be seen on the Bravo reality show Thicker than Water: The Tankards, which began its run in 2013.
