Sofian Benzaim, born in 1980 in Oran in Algeria, came to Norway at the age of four months. He' s been in love with music all his life, but it wasn' t until he reached the age of 16 that he finally decided to start thinking about building a career within music. At the time being, he was a vocalist at a band called "Breaking Sources" with his friend Orji Okoroafor (mostly known from Idol). But it wasn' t until last year, however, that he came in touch with the icelendic star- producer Hitesch Ceon and the norwegian production- team Vibez (Jonny Sjo and Kim Ofstad), that things really started to happen. By the end of six months, they had recorded 15 tracks, where- of 12 tracks are to be found on the album "This Is Sofian".
Sofian is a soul- singer with a lot in common with his "musical heroes" Prince, D' Angelo, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. He is very focused on giving the record a live sound, and his prime objective is to bring with him this live sound out on the road. We hope you can join us in building and supporting the undoubtedly most talented soul- artist in Norway.
