Bien: Press Release

It is crystal now that Sauti Sol have decided to take things a notch hire. From the press release given by sol generation’s management team, the manager noted:

“As a business, we have grown in the last two years. We were a record label but we are no longer a record label but a creative arts company.

“We are taking a Kenyan product and exporting it for global markets. We have two amazing artists, Bensoul and Nviiri and during the Covid-19 period, we took time and re-engineered how we do our business,” Said Sol Generation General Manager William Nanjero.

Sauti sol does not only have a record label now but rather a creative arts firm. During the press release, Bien added:

“We are all in each other’s art, and we are learning each other, to be individuals and supporting one another while at the same time we are giving you guys the best revolution of art I think Kenya has ever seen.

“This is a company that’s just growing and I’m happy that you guys are able to see Polycarp in his individuality. Polycarp is an amazing singer, he’s an amazing songwriter and an amazing song producer,” Said Bien.

If you have been kin, you’ld have realized that Polycarp (Fancy Fingers) who is the band’s instrumentalist has also released a classic song called “How I met your mother”.

The other two band members, Delvin and Chimano are yet to release their singles. A quick lesson from this great news is that talent, when used appropriately can be a lucrative source of income.
