Today, on Friday August 16th, Afro-fusion star Bnxn unveils his first solo single of the year, "Phenomena." This track is a summery blend of House and Afrobeats, produced by the chart-topping Malawian-South African producer Gemini Major. With lyrics that consistently resonate with fans across the globe, Bnxn unveils the raw authenticity of his life experiences through his music and melodies that overflow with emotion. Bnxn's successful first half of the year included several chart-topping singles from his joint tape with Ruger, titled ‘RnB’ as well as sharing the stage with Ruger during his performance at Afronation. True to his reputation as a hitmaker, the collaborative project ‘RnB’ is packed with singles poised to stand the test of time. Notably, the summer anthem "POE" and the sultry "Llashe" both reached the top 10 on the UK official Afrobeats charts.

Bnxn is one of Nigeria's premier songwriters, known for his string of No. 1 hits and chart-topping records.

He originally broke into the Top 40 of the Official UK charts with his single "Propeller," featuring UK rapper Dave and Jae5.

Last year, Bnxn released his debut 15 track album, 'Sincerely, Benson', a deeply personal and honest project that made its mark on both the Billboard Heatseekers and World Albums Charts. The album's standout single, "Gwagwalada", amassed over 230 million streams and reached No. 47 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart and No.4 on the UK official Afrobeats chart.
