Braund Reynolds is a British group, consisting of Ben Braund and James Reynolds.
Ben Braund was born in Winchester, England in 1976, and is the son of Sarah and Ralph Braund, and grandson of the late artist, Allin Braund. He attended Stroud School and, for a year, Winchester College before moving to Bristol in 1990. In 1994 he moved to Tunbridge Wells and worked out of London. He has written and produced music for Channel 4, BBC, PlayStation, Paramount Pictures, Universal, Virgin Records and performed around the world.
They are best known for their 2005 UK hit single, "Rocket (A Natural Gambler)". It was the first track to be the 'record of the week' for three BBC Radio 1 DJs at the same time, as well as hitting Pete Tong's 'Buzz Chart' at number 1 with a bullet. The duo's live act involved a 12 piece band that performed at Fabric, Koko Camden and The Arches. They have worked with the Stereo MCs, and remixed Eric Clapton.
Ben Braund AKA Braund Reynolds has enjoyed national chart success with the highly anticipated ‘Rocket’ on Virgin Records tipped by Music Week, Mixmag, Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk), Fatboy Slim and many industry players. He became one of the globe’s brightest new EDM faces. BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong made ‘Rocket’ his Essential Tune of the Month and it hit the buzz charts at No. 1 with a bullet. The whirlwind attention from gigs, DJ sets and demos has seen him officially remix Eric Clapton to Luciana to The Young Punx for record labels like Universal, Eye Industries and EMI. Another career highlight was the invite to play at Johnny Depp’s club; The Viper Rooms in Los Angeles.
He has also composed music for BBC, Channel 4, VH1 & Sony Playstation and produced for the Stereo MCs & The Hoxton Whores. Will Ferrel even chose his material for his 2009 Hollywood comedy movie ‘The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard’.
He has appeared and continues to feature on MTV, BBC Radio 1 and Channel 4 as well as thousands of TV and radio channels worldwide.
