He is one of the celebrated gospel artist in kenya. A down to earth guy who we have never hear with controversies.
The “Nitembelee” singer received probably the best news of his life after he obtained a visa to visit the USA following an invite by Talanta Awards USA after winning the Best Songwriter Award 2014 at the recently concluded Talanta Awards – Kenyan chapter.
Benachi has been patient for very long for an award and his big break came when the celebrated awards took place in Kenya in April. He had previously been nominated for various awards with all his songs but it was during the Talanta Awards that he received his first ever accolade for his talent after being recognized as the Best Songwriter.
Seeing how talented and humble Benachi is, Talanta Awards founder, Ms Meggie Waruri, invited him for a series of performances in the US. She speaks of him as, “…the most humble artist she has dealt with; very genuine, a true worshipper, clean record and his reputation is impeccable.”
“I spent time with him and could tell how disciplined an individual he is. His songs have deep substance that goes a long way to define his heart,” added Ms Waruri.
Talanta Awards is the only talent search and mentorship programme that awards based on genuine talent and not popular vote. The programme is also one of its kind in that artistes who have gone through the mentorship of Ms Waruri are given an exposure like no other; from USA tours to high level platforms to showcase their God-given talents.
Benachi is going to the States for the Boston Edition of Talanta talent search slated for July 10th through to 12th.
Meanwhile, the 15 finalists of the Kenyan Edition have recorded a masterpiece and the song is expected to hit the airwaves soon. For some of them, that was their first time in Nairobi and 95% of them had never been into a studio’s recording booth.
We wish Benachi Godspeed.
