Veteran Nigerian singer, Duncan Mighty reveals the reason he took a break from music while vowing to acquire a Doctor of Philosophy degree, Ph.D.
The musician disclosed that he had to take a break from music to pursue his education.
Duncan Mighty made this information known in an interview with 3Music TV in Accra, Ghana, while revealing that he has an MSc in Acoustics from Freiburg University in Germany.
He also advised his colleagues to chase their education if they haven’t achieved it yet, because talent is not enough.
His words read:
“Taking a break from music wasn’t a difficult decision. Most importantly, you must be able to equip yourself. You must be in charge of your career or business. For me, talent is not enough, music is not enough, ” he said.
“I have to back it up with education. Studying in an international community like Freiburg University… It is not an English-speaking university. You had to do Dutch language courses for six months, then you would be admitted to school.
“But I give God praise. I think education is the only thing that remains with you even in old age. So if you cannot go to school when you parents could send, you should go when you can send yourself. That was why I took a break from music. I’m not done with education yet. I must have a PhD.
If you’re not educated, someone is out there waiting to use everything you have made. Be careful, it is not about singing today. It’s called recording business”
