Walter Dee, christened Walter Hammond, started his musical career at 11 years old. Now 25 years old and recently launching a second album, Walter Dee has committed a portion of his proceeds to Project OKURASE. The connection between Project OKURASE and Walter Dee was evident when Project OKURASE’s co-director, Dr. Cindy Swenson met Walter Dee during a 2008 trip to Ghana. Walter Dee has also dedicated his career to saving orphans through the power of arts and music. He believes that the beautifully arranged single and easy-to-sing along nature of his single, Save the Orphans and the Needy, will make it a household song for both adults and children and get the message to stick in their heads and hopefully, their hearts as well. Project OKURASE is excited about Walter Dee’s appearance at the United Artists for Hope Music Festival later this year.
