Benny-D is no ordinary person. As an Actor, Producer, Writer, DJ and Rapper, he already has many strings to his bow. But it is his hunger and drive to succeed that set him apart. A born entertainer, he is loved by his fans all over the world for the energy and zest he brings to every performance.
What inspired him to start his career as DJ, the story behind his purple hair, helping the community as an influencer and his favourite country and show as just a few of the topics covered by Benny D in his Discover A Thriver episode. By contrast, through his production work, he has paved the foundation for success for many other musicians in his field. By working quietly in the background and possessing the humility not to solely be centre stage, he has collaborated with the likes of Akon, Verse Simmonds, and Planet VI. Growing up in the Virgin Islands, he first started DJing at the age of nine. Years later, and after many late-night club sets, his popularity has taken him to stages all over the world. His vitality, dedication to hard work, and ability have garnered him a global following from LA to Uganda; Senegal to Hong Kong. His journey has been of a young man with ambition on a small island. Through his own struggle to make it in such competitive industries, Benny-D is determined to help young musicians and creatives make their dreams come true.
