BENGA ARTISTE DAN ACEDA HOLDS FIRST EVER MASTERCLASS SESSION

Following the successful release of his 11th album Accelerata’s, Dan Aceda, the Crown Prince of Benga, held a Masterclass at the Kenyatta University, Music Department on January 30, 2019.

Speaking about the Masterclass sessions, Aceda said, “My focus is mainly on songwriting, music business, performance and stage craft. My goal is to share knowledge with a person who is already working on their craft.”

Explaining what drove him to start the Masterclass sessions, Dan said, “You know the crazy thing is, I have unofficially and informally been doing this work. I have had so many musicians come to my studio just to talk and share. Not that I’m a super expert but that I’ve largely kept my door always open.”

He continued, “So I would like to be more formal sessions and maybe the sharing will help another person. I don’t know about legacy but I know for me somebody taught me the stuff I know and sharing that stuff would cost me nothing.”
