One of our most humbling, inspiring projects from our time in Charleston.

We were honored to serve as Creative Director for this event, collaborating with Benny to create the set design, stage production, promotion, poster design, and vinyl jacket design (along with Samira Miché, who created the cover and introduced the Akua'ba imagery that became the centerpiece set design).

A Water Album is hip hop artist Benny Starr’s sophomore album. He describes its creation: 

"Music is deeply personal for me. After Free Lunch, I needed the time away from music to grow, and to feel; to love and to hurt; and I needed that time to discover and examine more of myself. I was luckily granted enough of those God-given moments to find the inspiration for A Water Album. 

For this record, I've been blessed to work with many artists I have profound admiration for – both here in Charleston, and beyond. It is in that spirit of gratitude that I present this album to you, as I plan to not only debut A Water Album, but to also record it live, with the city that inspired much of its creation. I want Charleston to be a part of this recording – it is the only way I could imagine presenting this.”
