Early Life & Education

Bensoul, born on March 4th, 1996, is probably safe to say that music runs in his family. His passion for music was greatly influenced by the fact that both of his parents possessed musical talent in different ways. He was born in Embu, Nairobi, Kenya.

While his mother sang in the choir, his father played the guitar. He started studying the guitar while he was in class six. He conveyed his growing closeness to his mother in the song Nikuchukie. The song describes how his mother reared him in poverty without any assistance from his father.

Bensoul could assist but chose not to. He doesn’t hold any grudges, though. His mother encouraged him when he decided to pursue music as a career; however, his father disagreed. 

Bensoul attended school in his home county before moving to Nairobi to enroll in the university. He left the Technical University of Kenya‘s civil engineering program after determining that music was where his passion and fulfillment resided.

Career

When Bensoul was a little boy growing up in Embu town, he was exposed to music, he said in an interview with Standard Digital News. Due to his love of music, curiosity, desire to learn new things, and interactions with music business professionals like H_art the Band, who have more experience, the award-winning singer has become more knowledgeable about music. 

His mother sang in a choir, and his father had played the guitar since childhood. He was raised on gospel, rumba, and various other musical genres. Bensoul originally began studying the guitar in Class Six.

He moved to Nairobi after finishing high school when he met H_art the Band, and the two of them grew close. Later, he enrolled in Sauti Academy, which improved Sauti Sol‘s decision to sign him. Bensoul attributed his musical career’s success to God. 

2018’s Kenyan leg of the Chronology Tour saw Bensoul perform on stage with reggae artist Chronixx thanks to his incredible songwriting and vocal abilities. His talent was thoroughly uncovered by Chronixx, who described him as Kenya’s musical future.

Although he has been a low-key artist, Bensoul has been in the music business for approximately six years. He worked incredibly hard to master every musical instrument he could find as a child. He can play various instruments, including the ukulele, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano, cello, violin, and double bass. 

For well-known performers in the field, such as Sauti Sol, Kidum, Ali Kiba, Nyashinski, Ben Pol, H_art the Band, Mercy Masika, and many others, Bensoul has created songs.
