His songs, filled with sincerity, explore the multiple facets of life by merging rock/folk influences with contemporary pop sounds. With titles like “Netsennaha”, “9oddam”, and “Blood Ran Out”, as well as the recent “You Are”, dedicated to his wife and accompanied by a captivating music video featuring the couple on a road trip through Morocco, Amine Benkiran has managed to captivate a diverse audience.
As he prepares for his first album, scheduled for release in 2024, Amine Benkiran aims to renew the Moroccan rock music scene by bringing a youthful breeze to it.
