bigBen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Nigerian-born musician, songwriter and record producer, bigBen, known in real life as Benedict Uchenna Dike, whose debut single \u2018Money\u2019 featured in the 2017 \u201cRapper of the Year\u201d at the Vodafone Ghana Awards, is back as the new owner of Afro-soul music.<\/p>\n Afro-soul is a music genre that has African characteristics of soul music. It has emotional vocals and a very strong link between other genres like afro-jazz, amapiano, and afrobeats.<\/p>\n bigBen believes the diversity of his music will grab the attention of great music lovers and also pioneer the new music genre, as he seeks to popularise the style both within and outside Africa to gain a global fan base which will help other local artistes make real money.<\/p>\n With the world\u2019s focus on music from Africa now more than ever yet bagging everything into one as \u2018afrobeat\u2019, it\u2019s only right that bigBen distinguishes himself and makes known the sound he seeks to front, Afro-soul.<\/p>\n bigBen is optimistic and ready to set his mark in the arts industry through Afro-soul music as a means of expressing one\u2019s emotions; hence his music speaks to the sensibilities of all. \u201cThe idea about Afro-soul is to combine afro (Africa) music and merge it with soul music in the sense that it is calm but still groovy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n bigBen is driving a wheel of change by impregnating into Africa\u2019s ideology about African music, which is one of his biggest goals; changing African mentality towards music.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" bigBen \u00a0 Nigerian-born musician, songwriter and record producer, bigBen, known in real life as Benedict Uchenna Dike, whose debut single \u2018Money\u2019 featured in the 2017 \u201cRapper of the Year\u201d at the Vodafone Ghana Awards, is back as the new owner of Afro-soul music.
