Sauti Sol band member Aime Baraza popularly known as Bien has revealed that his two enemies in the Kenyan music industry are Eric Omondi and Khaligraph Jones.
Appearing on Wabebe Experience Show, Bien said the comedian and rapper OG are the only enemies he has in the country.
“I don’t walk with bouncers; I don’t even have one. This is because I don’t have enemies apart from Eric Omondi and OG who are not here,” said Bien.
Further, the musician explained that he is still rooted to his normal ways of life despite the fame.
“What everybody sees is Bien but in my day-to-day life I am someone’s husband, son, brother, and I still walk to the gym every day in the morning.
I still eat fruits in a stall near Adams just like I have been doing for the last ten years,” he said.
Additionally, he explained that he does things that make him feel and stay in touch with his old self.
“I have not let fame control me that now I cannot walk freely in the streets. I live a simple life and I am protected by the fans who raised me to the levels that I am at today,” he added.
Bien Music Dreams
Furthermore, Bien added that his dreams in the music industry have changed over time.
He stated that in the early days, his hopes were just to be played on radio stations and attend popular shows.
However, Bien stated that he currently aims at composing songs that will impact listeners in a positive way and add value to their daily life.
“I have composed songs to become popular and I have already got that fame. Sometimes I feel like it is boring while at times I am okay with it but right now I just want people to be happy and resonate with the music,” he said.
Besides, Bien said he has worked with international artists and producers adding that it is time Kenyan music gets to those high levels.

Social Media Attacks

Again, he said he focused on positive comments adding that busy people have no time to complain or insult others on social media.
