Benito Leconse

Benito Leconse, stage name of Benito Cito Périclès, born August 8, 1998, in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo, is a Congolese singer-songwriter.

Nicknamed “HOMME CLASS” (Class Man), his music blends R&B, Afrobeat, Rap, and Pop with Congolese Rumba.

In 2009, at the age of 11, Benito Cito Périclès became interested in music and began writing his own songs about social life and the situation in his country.

In 2019, at the age of 21, he adopted the name Benito Le Conseiller (Benito the Advisor) because he sings with the aim of advising, raising awareness, educating, and instructing people in all areas (love, social issues, religion, faith, politics, and culture). In August 2022, he changed his stage name from LE CONSEILLER to LECONSE, a shortened and contracted version of Le Conseiller, in order to create a unique name for himself. "LECONSE" can be interpreted as a misspelling of Le Conseiller or Leçons (Lessons). This is because Benito LECONSE imparts moral and spiritual lessons in his songs. Therefore, LECONSE can also mean Lesson Giver or Wise Man.
