We’ve got something special in the works and you’re invited.
The legendary producer Bernard “Focus…” Edwards Jr. is coming to Rotterdam for a once-in-a-lifetime masterclass.

For over 25 years, Bernard “Focus…” Edwards Jr. , son of Chic’s bassist and co-founder Bernard Edwards has been one of the most influential producers in the game. With five Grammy Awards, multi-platinum records, and credits for icons like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Anderson .Paak, Eminem, and of course Dr. Dre, Focus… has been shaping the sound of modern hip-hop and soul. Since 2001, he’s worked closely with Dr. Dre at Aftermath Entertainment, contributing to Compton and guiding new artists at the label.

But this won’t be your typical “sit-and-listen” session. This one’s hands-on, personal, and real.
Here’s what to expect:
– An open Q&A — ask him anything.
– Live track breakdowns — watch how Focus… builds a beat from scratch.
– Direct feedback on your work — raw, honest, and designed to help you level up.

We’ll have multiple setups ready, so you can witness the creative process live up close and in real time.

A rare chance to learn from someone who has literally helped shape The Culture.
