Bennett AK continues his musical journey with the release of “Ganto,” the latest single from his upcoming EP.
Following “Favors & Flavors,” the track introduces a more daring artistic direction while reinforcing the foundation of his next chapter.
More than simply releasing another song, Bennett AK presents “Ganto” as a statement of purpose and personal conviction.
The title “Ganto” carries multiple meanings.
In the Minangkabau language, the word refers to a successor, someone chosen to carry on an important responsibility.
It can also mean a bell, an idea that inspired several of the song’s sonic elements.
Bennett AK believes everyone is born with a unique purpose.
Through “Ganto,” he encourages listeners to ask themselves whether they are ready to embrace that calling.
According to the singer, “Ganto” represents the journey toward becoming unshaken, unafraid, and unstoppable.
At the same time, he emphasizes that those qualities do not come easily. They are shaped through experience, challenges, and personal growth.
Although he considers himself to still be on that journey, Bennett AK believes people become stronger when they choose to live by those values.

Bennett AK Introduces a New Musical Direction
Musically, “Ganto” moves into new territory.
While “Favors & Flavors” blended Jersey Club, UK Drill, and Middle Eastern melodies, the new single takes a different approach.
Bennett describes its sound as Electronic Rap, a temporary label for music that resists conventional genre boundaries.
He also considers the release a significant departure from his previous work.
“Ganto” marks Bennett AK’s first international collaboration.
Malaysian producer Cuurley produced the track, co-wrote the song with Bennett, and handled the mixing process.
Together, they created a focused production that combines aggressive electronic textures with raw ethnic elements.
Traditional percussion and vocal chants add cultural depth to the arrangement.
They also contrast with the song’s bold synths, drums, and electronic production.
Music With a Message
Bennett AK believes music is more than a form of creative expression.
For him, it is an opportunity to inspire listeners and communicate positive values.
He views that responsibility as an important part of his purpose as an artist.
He also describes “Ganto” as the version of Bennett AK that had remained hidden until now.
The song finally reveals another side of his musical identity.
Rather than portraying external conflict, “Ganto” focuses on the battles people face within themselves.
Bennett AK hopes the single encourages listeners to take action, develop stronger character, and refuse to give up when facing life’s challenges.
“Ganto” is now available on all major digital streaming platforms.
The official music video is also available on Passion Vibe’s YouTube channel.
