Segge Dan performing Libation (in memory of Maddie Williamson)@Fairtrade Festival
This was a special moment performing Libation as the day before my friend’s mother lost her battle to a terminal illness. Doing Libation made it all the more poignant. Rest in Maddie Williamson - 1942 -2010 reunited with Al Williamson. Love is Love.
Love is Love to Ty, Keith and Su and all friends and family of Maddie, we truly celebrated your life and felt your spirit around us at the wake.
Segge Dan performing Lady (Fela remake) @ Matthew 25, Koforidua, Ghana
Segge Dan taking time out from his charity trip in Ghana to perform to an audience in Ghana
In January/February 2010 I went to Ghana with my charity, ADAP, to teach English and look at some of the issues that the teachers were having. I taught English at Matthew 25 which is a refuge for adults with HIV. Needlessly to say, it was very rewarding and challenged some of my perspective of people with HIV. I’m currently devising workshops to some of the issues that the secondary school teachers highlighed and I have teachers in England that will be going out to Ghana in July to deliver these workshops.
So if you’re a teacher, doctor or nurse - please holla if you’re interested in volunteering abroad
Whatever you’re thinking just do it; whatever you’re feeling just be it
Love is Love
SEGGE DAN PRESENTS BLACK BRITANYAA - THE WINDRUSH VOL.2
|
East London Hip Hop crew Black Britanyaa thrive on doing things differently and bring you The Windrush Volume 2.  Coinciding with the 60th anniversary of SS Windrush (first ship to bring West Indians to Britain), this “edutaining” & conceptual album takes listeners on a historical journey of the different musical styles of Black Briton: Starting from Ska and Highlife to Lovers Rock and through to Jungle. The album has already been getting rave reviews: "The Windrush Vol 2 is a work that’s well conceived and beautifully executed; even if hip-hop’s not your thing, there’s plenty here to admire and enjoy." www.toxicpete.co.uk "I’ve been waitin’ for someone to make an album that could match the mish-mash bashment boogies of Roots Manuva. Black Britanyaa are here melding a huge history of black Brit music in their hip hop… but they ain’t for forcing it." www.electricroulette.com

Visit to Kassa Kunda School in the Gambia

Welcome to SeggeDan.com
Hey wassup people and welcome to my world of music, lyrics and life.
I am a music artist, educator and active charity worker. I use music as a way to engage young people in areas such as Literacy and Life skills and I chair a charity that is working on development projects in Africa. I can tell you I’ve been on a field trip and it certainly keeps you grounded.
I don’t do mainstream Hip Hop, I like to push the musical boundaries like The Roots or a Kanye West. Add the social commentary of Talib Kweli and the soul of a Common then you get an idea of Segge Dan.
My whole ethos is LOVE is LOVE like don’t worry about the stresses of life or sweat the small stuff because more often than not they will work themselves out.
I want my music to inspire people to FEEL something, DO something and BE something. Feel - whether laugh, cry, think or dance. Do - instead of talking just actually do something. Be - be love and be your potential.
Hope you enjoy the music and the site and don’t forget to spread the word!
