I neke tona whanau ki Brussels, Belgium, i te tau 1990. He kaipūkaha tauhokohoko tōna pāpā, he kaihautū kanikani tōna whaea. I tiimata a Heine ki te tuhi i te 11 o ona tau. I taua wā, ko tana hiahia ki te toi whakaata te tino hiahia. I waenga i te 1988 me te 2006, i haere a Heine ki nga akoranga i nga whenua rereke, tae atu ki Ivory Coast, Belgium, te UK me te Netherlands. I haere ia ki te kura tuatahi i Notre Dame de La Trinité i Brussels. I a ia e ākonga ana, he māmā noa iho te māharahara, te mauiui, ā, he uaua ki te whakahaere i te kura. I tae noa ki tana ako i te kura tuarua i "Collège Saint Vincent" i Belgium i whanake ai ia hei akonga whai mana. I a ia e taiohi ana, i tirotirohia e ia te whakairo, te peita me te tuhi pakiwaitara ki te puoro me te hakinakina. I te 2007, i whiwhi a Ben i tetahi tohu i roto i te Kaituhi, i tiimata i te Université Libre de Bruxelles ka oti i te IHECS me te Whare Wananga o Utrecht mo nga Pūtaiao Whakamahia. I whakahaerehia hoki e Ben nga akoranga mo te hitori o te toi, te whakairo, me te peita i te Hastings College of Arts and Technology me te Académie Royale des Beaux Arts de Bruxelles. I roto i tana whakangungu matauranga, i ako ia i nga taputapu puoro tae atu ki nga pahu, djembe me te piana. Nā tōna mātauranga me tōna aroha ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero i ārahi ai ia ki te ako i ngā reo rerekē e ono, French, English, Dutch, Polish, Spanish and Russian. I waenganui i te tau 2007 tae noa ki te mutunga o te tau 2009, i mahi a Heine i roto i ngā mara rerekē hei oranga, hei kaituhi i roto i tētahi umanga whakawhitiwhiti kōrero i Belgium, ā, hei kaiako reo me te kaiako i roto i ngā kura rerekē huri noa i Brussels. I mahi hoki ia hei kaitiaki moni i roto i tētahi hokomaha. Ahakoa enei mahi, ko te kaupapa matua a Ben i mau tonu i roto i ana kaupapa auaha ana ka tuhi ia ia me te peita i nga po katoa. Ko te 2010 he tau nui mo Heine, i te wa i tiimata ai ia ki te mahi i nga mahi toi o tana raupapa nui, Pencil Vs Camera me Digital Circlism. Mai i te tau 2010 tae noa ki tenei ra, i whakaatuhia e Heine ana mahi toi i roto i nga toi nui...  Pātai: He aha ngā kura i haere ai a Ben?
