Being ’real’ and working hard: how an international DJ and music producer uses his ’Spike’ to live his dreams!

When you think of international DJs, you probably think of Instagram pages full of adoring girls, fast cars and fast times. Ben Rainey could not be more opposite of that. Ben is just a young guy who loves music, and wants to share it with the world. From his high-energy dancing during his mixes to his insightful breaking down of dance tunes, Ben Rainey oozes likeability. "The Spike" host Harry became aware of Ben through his friend Josh who is also an up and coming DJ. During this conversation, you'll hear: What drew Ben to his passion for spinning and creating records. How Ben deals with mental health challenges, and his relationship with a national men's mental health charity. The family festival that turned into chaos. Why Ben feels it's important for young successful entrepreneurs to spend their money on smart things. Ben's position on 'giving back'. Want to catch up on previous episodes of "The Spike"?
