Voice and pen of Sauti Sol, Bien-Aimé Baraza leads a brilliant solo career in parallel: Kenya's most streamed artist in 2025 and first African signed by Quality Control Music.
Bien-Aimé Baraza, said Bien, is a Kenyan singer, songwriter and guitarist born in Nairobi. He is one of the founding members of Sauti Sol, the band that carried Kenyan pop on the scenes around the world, and the co-founder of his creative ecosystem around the label Sol Generation.
He released the album "Alusa, Why Are You Topless?", which was written by titles such as "Too Easy" with Dj Edu and " Lifestyle". The album became the most streamed in Kenya in 2025 and Bien est sacré meilleur artiste d'Afrique de l'Est at Trace Awards 2025, then the most streamed local artist of the year at Spotify Wrapped Kenya.
In 2026, he made a new international stage by becoming the first African artist signed by Quality Control Music, the Atlanta label, and unveiled the single "I'll Be Okay". He also lent his voice to artists from across East Africa, from Bruce Melodie to Joshua Baraka.
