Popular singer Omah Lay has disclosed why he dropped out of the university after being a student for just six months.
He noted this in an interview on ‘The 77 percent’ on Deutsche Welle (DW).
According to the “Bad Influence” crooner, he had a paradox to choose between music and education at that time and went for music since he was struggling to pay his fees.
The singer also revealed he was still a novice in the music industry at that period.
Omah Lay admitted that though music was his passion, it was an uneasy choice to make then.
“I was in the university for like half a year, and I stopped. I just dropped out. Yeah, it was a hard choice to make because at that time I was just learning music production and I needed financing for school. I needed time for music production.
Somehow, I just loved music production so much I could let go of school for music production. I felt like maybe sometime I will come back but when I got really deep into music production, I didn’t go back to school, and I didn’t even have the time.
At some point, it felt like a wrong choice, but then, things started clicking; I started making beats that I love, that wowed people.
I started writing songs for people and people didn’t believe that that was me, and I just kept doing it until I found myself in Germany right now. I’m here right now, I’m doing this interview right now,” he said.
