Ben grew up in a family of nine siblings and states his family as his biggest influence. His creative streak originated from a passion for drawing and painting early on, and by middle school he had begun making short movies with friends and playing music.

At the age of 19, Ben Cooper decided he wanted to become a writer, writing two books. However, Ben did not backup his files and the computer crashed, whereby he took it outside and smashed it with a hammer. It was with this turn of events that Ben started creating music for himself which would eventually form into an unintended career, despite his original intentions.

When Ben was 14, he admitted to his parents that he was gay. He was then kicked out of his home by his step-father. In his adulthood, Ben found out that his step-father sexually abused his niece. Ben ended up adopting his neice, and gave testimony at his step-father's trial. Although he intended for his "The Family Tree" trilogy to be fictional when he began the project, his songs in the third album, "Leaves," were directly written about his family due to those recent developments in his life.

Cooper met Alex Kane in 2000 in a band called Helicopter Project when asked to replace the lead singer of the band, and the two have worked together on various projects since. Most of Ben Cooper's tracks are reportedly recorded in a tool shed outside his house. In 2011, Ben Cooper released a new album under the alias "Patients". He is perhaps best known for his 2007 track "Welcome Home," which featured on an advertisement for Nikon cameras .

His song "We're On Our Way" was also featured in the trailer for the 2012 motion picture The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

His songs, "Glory" and "All is Well (Goodbye, Goodbye)" performed by Radical Face, were featured in the 2016 motion picture Buddymoon.

Cooper also owns digital design company The Lazy Eye.
