Artist Biography Available in: On his debut album Free Me (2018), Burundian-born JP Bimeni astonishes with a voice that recalls Otis Redding in his prime whilst resonating with the soul of Africa. A refugee who’s been living in London since the early 2000s, Bimeni’s songs of love and loss, hope and fear deliver with a conviction that comes from the extraordinary experiences life has thrown at him.
With classic 60s-sounding, Motown and Stax-inspired grooves, the album was written by musical director Eduardo Martínez and songwriter Marc Ibarz and Bimeni imbues these tales with his tragic experiences making ‘Free Me’ a deep soul soundtrack to his pained life: “When I sing I feel like I’m cleansing myself: music is a way for me to forget”.
