    Bien-Aime (French for beloved) Baraza is a vocalist, songwriter and guitarist. His style of singing is soulful and his songwriting skills celebrated by many.
    Since Sauti Sol’s inception in 2006, Bien-Aime has remained active in the group and part of the creation of Sauti Sol two albums: Mwanzo (2008) and Sol Filosofia (2011). Bien-Aime occasionally writes songs for other artists like Elani, Amos & Josh and Wendy Kimani.
    He says of songs from Sauti Sol’s first two albums: Mwanzo and Sol Filosofia, “I love to write songs. And women inspire me. My thought process equates songs to women; to an extent I call our songs my women. Lazizi is the hot girl at the bar. Zosi is the good sweet girl who goes to church. Mama Papa and Soma Kijana are the voices of my mother.
    “While on stage, these hit singles are among my trophies. Some women like Wera, Subira, Mapacha, Awinja and Asubuhi are wife material-girls who knew me in the hood before the lights, camera and action. They remind me of Sauti Sol days before success and the magical struggle that our music has been. They are show for sacrifice and represent the road we’ve treaded.”
    Bien-Aime studied Journalism and Media Studies at the United States International University and graduated in 2011.

    When I saw pics of them in the studio with Andre Harris I knew sasa wamefika global status. Andre Harris and Vidal Davis (Dre & Vidal) have been collaborating since the late 90’s at A Touch Of Jazz Studios owned by DJ Jazzy Jeff. Their prod catalogue is amazing from MJ to Usher, Jill Scott to Floetry, Chris Brown to Glen Lewis and Kenny Lattimore to Sauti Sol now.
    I wish you talked more on them working with Kaysha who prod “Love Again” ft C4Pedro and “Everything” ft India Arie. Those are probably their biggest Kizomba/Zouk 🎵tracks to date and Kaysha is such an easy guy ready to work.

      @croogrbeats2982 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Mostly proper marketing/promotion cause of connections in the industry, distribution. They also expose artists to the other better/ best producers, and other big artists.They also give them an advance “Loan” that is to be recouped once an album starts generating revenue. A bad record deal might also mean they own your music😬
