Albeit many a time the singer credits his wife for his solo career success, Bien has continued soaring higher in his skill marking himself a stronghold when it comes to originality and talent that is invaluable.

In a previous exclusive interview with Nairobi News, Bien spoke about the lessons he has learned from having his wife manage his music career.

According to the artiste, Chiki’s unwavering commitment to his talent has been a driving force behind his success as a solo artist.

“There is no one thing to learn from Chiki; I learn every day. But one thing she has shown me is the commitment to your lover or to someone you are in love with is not just about the romantic things that people want to talk about at the forefront of the relationship,” Bien shared.

He added;

“It’s about how much you are willing to go, like right now when I am a solo artist. She has been managing all my things — shoots, my choreography — and I have fallen in love with her again. She has shown me the commitment to my gift in a way that no one has ever shown me before.”
