On his debut album Free Me, 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 sings songs
of love and loss, hope and fear, with a conviction that comes from the extraordinary
experiences life has thrown at him.
A descendant of the Burundian royal family, Bimeni fled Burundi aged 15 during the
1993 civil war. Following three attempts on his life - at school he watched as his
schoolmates were murdered, he was then chased by motorcycle militia-men and finally
poisoned by doctors in hospital - he was given refugee status and fled to the UK
where he’s remained ever since.
