Bence has also initiated a global musical project within the Berklee community which in their hope will likely to involve world-renown artists like Quincy Jones, John Mayer, Janet Jackson, Sting and more. The project is a part of Berklee’s very own Ubuntu movement and it is planned to be finished by the end of 2013. The group is currently in the process of making a documentary for the project on Berklee Campus. A campaign for the project will be initiated as well, beginning inside Berklee, then spreading towards colleges in the Boston area and finally all over the world. His motivation is to take the opportunities of this unbelievably talented international environment that is called Berklee in order to collaborate, create new, innovate, unify for a better world, make changes and he believes where all the nations represent themselves in music like here, everything is possible. Remember, “We are human beings first and musicians second…”
