Jacky B – “Music Producers, Go To School!”

His name is Jacob Otieno, AKA Jacky B. You may have heard artists dropping the phrase “kwenye beat ya Jacky B” in his songs. In a recent interview, he revealed a bit more about his working history. Interesting details were spilled.

The cool part was that this guy is not your typical self-taught producer. He went to a prestigious music school to learn his trade! He told the interviewer:

“I studied music production at Groove Ryders Entertainment, a branch of Wynton House of Music in Nairobi, Kenya. I also had many mentors who helped me be where I am. I joined Groove Ryders Entertainment in 2008 and completed the course in 2010.

It is important that aspiring music producers go to school. Music production entails a lot of technical knowledge that you can only learn in school.“
