Bien: Why I don't share a hotel room with Chiki before performing

Sauti Sol's Bien and his wife Chiki Kuruka.

Sauti Sol's vocalist and guitarist, Bien Baraza, has disclosed that he maintains a very strict business relationship with his wife, Chiki Kuruka, who also doubles up as his manager. In an interview with Mseto East Africa, when the two travel for work, they do not share a room, adding that he needs his space a night before a big performance.

"At the end of the day, management is something that involves trust at a very high level. First of all, wife yangu hawezi niibia. Natrust wife yangu sana. Kuna boundaries pia, for example, kama nikona show, naperform, nakaa kwa hotel room yangu pekee yangu, so kama unanibook kama agent, hauwezi book room moja na wife yangu, staki kulala nayeye same room hio siku, nataka kwenda kujiskizia," he said.
