Early years
Coming from a religious family, Dube's music interest was sparked at an early age. He started singing gospel music together with his family as a seven-year-old.[1][3][4] By the age of twelve, Benjamin started singing alongside his older siblings in the church, and they became known as the Dube Family singers. But unfortunately, things would forever change for the Dube's family when their patriarch and father was gruesomely murdered in 1976. The family decided to sing and share stories of their father's death.
