He was a hit with his hit “Soulman” in the early 2010s. Since then, Ben Uncle Soul has been more discreet, but intends to return to the forefront… What has become of the singer, who will be on the “Star Academy” set this December 28?
The words of Soulman have echoed in your heads for months (even years) and Ben, Uncle Soul is finally back! The singer, who was a hit in the early 2010s and has been more discreet for some time, is invited to the set of the Star Academy this December 28. But what becomes of him?
What happens to Uncle Soul Ben? “We are always trying to find success again”
Remember, at the beginning of the 2010s, Ben l’uncle Soul had widely talked about him with his hits Soulman et Little sister. At the time, he had managed to fill Zéniths and had even been crowned “stage revelation” at the Victoires de la Musique. “It was really an explosion. It’s also a good business card behind, it’s quite cool since it gives you confidence to be able to offer really very personal things behind.“, he recently confided in 20 minutes. Since then, he has released several albums, but which have had less impact: “Somewhere, we always try a little to find this success, without being disappointed not to succeed.“.
Benjamin Duterde, his real name, may have had a smaller audience in recent years, but he still took as much pleasure in music. “I really make music to propose things. I don’t make music to be told, ‘That’s good! You worked well!’. I try to be faithful to what I feel, to my intuitions, to my visions, I try to realize them with the best possible quality“, he confided to Monthly Magazine.
Ben l’ocle Soul: children, couple… His private life
From now on, Ben l’uncle Soul creates music on his own label, in total freedom. He will release a new album in March 2025 and already has several concerts planned for the new year. On a personal level, the singer became the father of a little boy now aged 5 and, according to the latest news, is still in a relationship with the mother of his son, whose name he prefers to keep quiet.
In 2020, the title of his album, Addicted to you (‘addicted to you’ in English, editor’s note), echoed his love story, as he explained to Public : “The subject of the song actually… it’s addicted to a girl! My partner, but I won’t say her name“.
