Biography

BNXN, pronounced “Benson” and formerly known as Buju, is Daniel Etiese Benson, a Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer born in Lagos on 14 May 1997. His family is from Akwa Ibom State. He grew up in Gbagada before moving to Ogun State, and credits 2Baba and Burna Boy as early inspirations.

His EP Sorry I’m Late (October 2021) featured The Cavemen, and that December he sold out his first Lagos concert. He changed his name to BNXN in 2022, and his projects since include Bad Since ’97 (2022), Sincerely, Benson (2023), CAPTAIN (2025), The Game Needs Us with Sarz (May 2026) and Still In Charge (October 2026).

“If You Like”, “Back Outside” and “Already” with Sarz and “Eja Meja” with Asake are among the biggest Afrobeats songs of late 2026.
