IT is safe to describe multi-talented singer and songwriter, Daniel Benson aka BNXN as one of Nigerian music’s best exports to the world. The talented musician has distinguished himself with his ability to take up choruses on any record in an elegant humming pattern style that is unique to him. The 2022 Headies next rated award winner tells SAMPSON UNAMKA in Atlanta, Georgia, about his career, love life, details of his relationship with Wizkid, love for music star, Davido, his take on music critics, legacy, about his forthcoming album and more.
Congrats on your award, did you see the next rated award coming?
To be honest it is good to be hopeful but more like anyhow it goes, I was more like if it happens it happens, it doesn’t change my perception towards working. So yeah I mean it was a great stepping stone.
Since your career picked up, you have worked with all the biggest acts in the industry and created hits, how do you feel with these achievements?
To God be the glory, because there is a whole lot that has gone into my career and my work and to be honest, I feel like I am just blessed because a lot of people relate to my sound and it is always nice for them to actually connect because I have been in the studio with a couple of people, I mean OGs who tell me my sound is like a bridge between music that they like or the music that they make with the younger generation and that’s the reason we can connect. So it is beautiful. Also that is God’s blessing because sometimes it doesn’t work that way too, because trust me collaboration is a conscious effort between two parties just to make the work that they are putting out become substantial so it’s always good to see that whenever I work with anybody it just always goes up.
