# Bnyx

Benjamin Saint Fort (born April 23, 1995), known professionally as BNYX® (/bɛniː ˈɛks/, "Benny X", stylized in all caps) is an American record producer and songwriter. He is known for extensively working with Yeat and has also produced for many artists, such as Drake, PinkPantheress, Mario, Travis Scott, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd among others. Bnyx is a part of the Philadelphia-founded producer collective Working on Dying.

## Early life

Benjamin Saint Fort was born on April 23, 1995, in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania to Haitian immigrant parents. His stage name comes from his nickname, Benny, and the letter X, which he states "represents/stands for “Extreme”. Extreme [...] is what I strive for whenever I create music". His older brother, Felix, influenced him to start officially producing music after he heard some of what he had done. His younger brother, Patrick, known professionally as BeautifulMvn, is also a record producer and the two often produce songs together. In 2017, Bnyx started working at AT&T after having to drop out of college because of financial difficulties, where he saw that Travis Scott had released a remix of "Swang" by Rae Sremmurd and decided to make his own remix, which ended up gaining traction after repeatedly tweeting the link to his remix while replying to users on Twitter.

## Career
