Following Rolling Stone US’ lead, RSA is now rolling out My Life In 10 Songs features with African talents. Stonebwoy was the first artist we featured in the series, and next up is Bien, whose influence on the African music industry cannot be overstated. As part of Sauti Sol, he played a pivotal role in putting Kenyan music on the global map, but now, as a solo artist, Bien continues to push boundaries, showcasing the diversity of African music on a global stage. He shares with us 10 songs that have shaped his life up to this point.
