Bien Receiving Trace Award Trophy
Bien Of Sauti Sol Beats Diamond Platnumz, Harmonize, Zuchu, Marioo and other artists to win Best Artist Eastern Africa, 2025 (Trace Awards). I hope mnajua about Trace Awards. Acha niwaplug with what Diamond Platnumz had to say about Trace Awards, that is set for Zanzibar, before we get back to Bien.
Bien, the lead vocalist of Sauti Sol, was the only Kenyan nominee in the Trace Awards 2025, competing for the Best Artist, Eastern Africa. His Album "Alusa Why Are You Topless" took him around the globe. Ni time ya Bien sasa. Tumpatie our support and let's see him win.
Bien amewekeleaa kazi mob sana last year and this year 2025. One of the biggest collaboration yenye imewashika recently ni "Nairobi" by Marioo. No one could have done it better. It's always said, ukiwa kwa track jamo na Bien, do your research well coz unaezalalisha ukafunikwa ukalala tena! Here is Bien's verse:
Marioo ft Bien - Nairobi
Back to Trace Awards, nataka niwapatie line up ya artists nominated kwa hiyo category ya Best Artist Eastern Africa ndiyo tuone how heavy Bien can go, right? Here's the line up:
- Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania)
- Harmonize (Tanzania)
- Marioo (Tanzania)
- Zuchu (Tanzania)
- Nandy (Tanzania)
- Joshua Baraka (Uganda)
- Rophnan (Ethiopia)
Hapa ilikua kivumbi lakini si mnatambua Bien ni nani? Na pia nyinyi ni kina nani. Bila support yenyu hangekua hapo. Tuendelee na hiyo motive hadi kwa wasanii wengine. Hawa ni baadhi ya wasanii ambao wanaonyesha bidii yao kwa kazi:
- Khaligraph Jones
- Nyashinski
- Octopizzo
- Mejja
- Femi One
- Willy Paul
- Bahati
- Nadia
- Savara
- Matata
- Nameless
The list is long. In short, tuko na more than enough talent huku home. Bien has shown us how good we all are despite the fact that he was the only one nominated. He urged Kenyan artists to work together to improve and grow our industry. Congratulations Bien. This year tunategea more trophies.
