Brian Mumba Kasoka Bwembya known professionally as B Flow (B'Flow or B-Flow), is a Zambian musician, media personality, humanitarian, philanthropist, social justice advocate,[6] and founder of Music For Change. He served as Chairperson of the HIV/AIDS and Social Commentary (HASC) committee of the Zambia Association of Musicians (ZAM) from 2014 to 2017, before being elected to the position of Publicity Secretary in 2018.[7] He is the global ambassador in the fight against HIV/AIDS for American organization AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF)[6] and also the first Zambian artist in the world to launch an album at a US Embassy. The event was sponsored by the United States[4] government through the embassy. The stage name B Flow was inspired by people who loved his 'flow'. B Flow also took a new direction with his music, changing his genre to what is now known as “KaliDanceHall” (A mix of traditional Zambian Kalindula music and Dance Hall).[4] In November 2016, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) named B Flow as one of the 16 voices of activism against gender-based violence around the world.[8][9][10]
