Ben Cristovao

Singer, Artist, and Fighter

My name is Ben Cristovao and I am best known for my work as a singer. I have been in the music business for over 10 years, but for the last few years I have been competed in professionally in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I tried MMA and other martial arts, but jiu-jitsu was the only thing that really stuck. Sports and music have a kind of symbiotic relationship in my life—like a yin and a yang. I also snowboarded professionally back in the mid-2000s, and spent a good portion of my life in the Czech ski town of Špindlerův Mlýn.

When I’m not performing my music live or doing something sports-related, I’m usually on the road. And on the road, quality food can be hard to find, much less quality vegan food. So, Mana is kind of a guardian angel. It gives me all the nutrients I need, and I can drink it all day and still feel good. Of course, ideally, it would be great to cook quality food from scratch for every meal, but this is unfortunately just not possible. Even if it was possible, sustainability would still be a major issue. Mana takes care of that, too.
