Ben Smallwood, Iron Maiden’s Creative Director, has spoken to Classic Rock about his relationship with the band and their new film, Burning Ambition.
"I spent the first few years of my life on the road,” says Smallwood, who was born in 1992, the same year that Fear Of The Dark came out, and, as the son of manager Rod, grew up around the band. “My life took a different trajectory, in the music industry but not with metal bands. Then I re-circled back to Maiden, and one of the first projects I took on was Burning Ambition [for which he’s co-producer]."
