Artist story

From Ekiti
to Moscow.

King Steve Benjamin, known as KSB, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer from Ekiti State, based in Moscow. Music began early: he sang in church as a child, then carried that instinct with him when he moved to Russia to study.

His sound moves through Afrobeats, Afropop and cross-cultural collaborations. KSB has described his evolving direction as Afroruski: African rhythm meeting the energy and languages around him. His 2026 album Chameleon introduces his “Afro Sci-Fi” direction. His independent home is KSB Vibes.
