Souljah

Souljah was formed back in 1998. At first, it was named Arigatoo. Then along with the expanding music that we make, we decided to change the name to Souljah at 2005. With Arigatoo, we did some compilation albums. One with Authority Records from Japan, titled Asian Ska Foundation in 2003 and the other was with Sony Music Indonesia, titled Ska Mania back in 2000. And in 2003, we released Arigatoo full album titled Kami Bukan Perawan Lagi (We're Not Virgins Anymore). Later on, in 2005 we released Souljah first album, entitled "Breaking The Roots", with hit single Jamaica's Away.

They entered the scene anonymously back in 2005, dropping the first 12" in Werk Disc's infamous Grim Dubs series, a tongue-in-cheek and irreverent take on the then emerging dubstep scene.

From the early nineties, producing for ‘Ibiza’ and ‘E Records’ and the eponymous SOUR imprint, home to a number of junglist luminaries (including the likes of Shy FX & T Power), Potential Bad Boy went on to create his own imprint; 3rd Eye Records.

Music has always been a big part of Benny's life, but it really started making an impact on him when he discovered hip-hop at the age of 11; artists such as DJ Premier, Mobb Deep, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog and Nas influenced Benny in a big way.
Benny's growing passion for music lead him to his school band in which he played the drums and learned the guitar.
