Roche Pinas, better known as Benjamin Fayah, was born in 1989 in Suriname.
The name Benjamin is the last child of Jacob from the Bible, which stands for blessing. Fayah is Sranan Tongo for fervor. That is how the name Benjamin Fayah came about, which seeps through in his music. His music career started at the age of 15 in 2004, inspired by the Jamaican singles his brother brought home.
At the age of 18, Benjamin Fayah started making music himself. This was partly due to singing lessons and the demand for performances at school events.
