Bennie Mellies is a music producer hailing from the Netherlands who has a deep passion for reggae. Born and still residing in Groningen, Bennie strives to develop and refine his skills each day. When he was just six years old, his dad taught him how to play a hammond organ, and Bennie’s curiosity led him to explore all of the organ’s features, eventually leading to the creation of his very first beat. Over time, Bennie honed his skills using various software programs such as Skaletracker, Fasttracker, Fruity Loops (FL Studio), Cubase, and Studio One. Today, he has achieved significant success with his personal website (Bennie Mellies) and on platforms as YouTube, Spotify and TikTok.
