Gareth Emery was born in Southampton, England although he also has Welsh heritage, and he is an avid supporter of the Welsh rugby team. He lived in Southampton until the age of 26 before relocating to Manchester, England where he had a studio and ran a night club and record label, both called Garuda. He has a degree in Politics from University of Warwick, supports Southampton Football Club, and is trained in classical piano. Prior to becoming involved in electronic music he played guitar in a punk band in the mid-nineties. He now lives in Los Angeles with his wife Kat.


Ben Gold's fierce, club-facing melodies are undeniable; gaining him support from industry heavyweights Armin Van Buuren, Gareth Emery and Markus Schulz, an army of fans, and continuing chart success: But that is just the beginning... 2016 is primed to become the biggest and most explosive year of his career.  
Whether he's sharing a stage with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Hardwell and W&W, or headlining his own shows globally, Ben has an innate ability to read and rock any crowd and has set alight the stages of A State of Trance , Electric Daisy Carnival and Creamfields and to name just a few.  
Ben is equally impressive in the studio as he is behind the decks having scored a plethora of Beatport #1's, and equipped with an arsenal of some of the most dynamic and boundary pushing trance being produced on the planet, Ben Gold's reign at the top of the charts is set to continue. 
Welcome to the future of trance music.
