Sauti Sol\u00b4s lead vocalist, Bien reveals how he has been compelled to marry due to pressure from his parents.<\/p>\n

The two are set to have their nuptials later in the year.<\/p>\n
The singer-songwriter is among the many who have dated their girlfriends for pretty long without exchanging vows.<\/p>\n

And soon after he went down on one knee, the world was convinced that their relationship would actually be promising.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately Bien reveals that pressure from his parents is what might have pushed him into the entire marriage business.<\/p>\n
My parents have been pressuring me so much to marry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/ByxYa6ulLEb\/<\/p>\n
Additionally pointing out that he plans to see Chiki walk down the isle but no concrete plans have been set yet because he leaves that to her.<\/p>\n
Family<\/h2>\n
The root of it all is his parents who have been supportive all through his music career as well as his relationship to Chiki.<\/p>\n
We are 10 of us in our family and everyone has chosen a different path.<\/p>\n
My siblings are in different professions and everyone is enjoying what they are doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Further revealing that music saw him through school, paying up his fees and that was a motivation to his parents.<\/p>\n

Just 3 weeks ago, the \u00a8Sauti Sol\u00a8 band musician lightly articulated that unfortunately, his dad has no choice but support his music because that\u00b4s his career.<\/p>\n
My dad has finally reconciled with the fact that I’ll never get a real job. ????????????????????????<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
With a myriad of personalities agreeing to that and fact that his dad\u00b4s face clearly says it all.<\/p>\n
