“UK based Ghanaian international singer and performer, Stephanie Benson has announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art music school in Accra, as a means of giving back to her country. In an interview, an excited Stephanie said “I have done a lot of charity work in the UK and feel that it is time to do something for my own country. That’s the main reason I am establishing a music school in Accra. We have wonderful people in Ghana who are doing incredibly well, but I can help improve the music business in Ghana with my input ’’.
