BENNIE K is an urban female duo that consists of vocalist YUKI and rapper CICO, who both love American hip-hop music. They met while YUKI was in Los Angeles undergoing voice training with Roger Burnley. They made their debut in January 2001 with the single "Melody," released on the For Life Music label.
BENNIE K's 8th single “Sunrise” (2004) landed them in the top 10 of the Oricon singles chart for the first time. When their 9th single “Dreamland” (2005) grabbed the #2 spot on the chart, they knew they had just got their big break. Their 4th album "Japana-rhythm" debuted at #1 on the Oricon albums chart.
BENNIE K's songs usually combine Japanese and English — their English is more fluent than most Japanese singers. Although their sound is primarily urban, they often bend genres and draw from a variety of diverse musical styles — from latin to country to dancehall, just to name a few.
Formation
During the summer of ’99, YUKI and CICO had a chance encounter. YUKI was on a homestay in Los Angeles, and her residence happened to also be that of CICO’s aunt. While sharing the same quarters, the two really hit it off. Returning to Japan separately, they continued their musical endeavors. Not too long after, they had the opportunity to join forces at a Christmas event, and decided afterward to unite and devote themselves to music.
