Nigerian singer, Korede Bello has explained why he paused his successful music career to get a degree in mass communication.
The talented young singer won the hearts of music lovers after his 2014 hit song Dorobucci which was later followed by “Godwin”, “Romantic”, and “Do Like That.”
The singer soon went completely silent to the point that he nearly got forgotten.
Speaking in an interview with New Telegraph, Korede explained the reason he decided to pause his budding music career and take another route into mass communication.
He said: “I love education, not so much traditional education but I love to learn how the world works and how the human mind operates. So getting a degree in Mass Communication seemed congruent with what I was already doing professionally; mass communicating art to the world.
“Writing a headline is not so different from writing a chorus. They both have to be catchy and evoke some sort of emotional reaction. News and Music are both languages of emotional connection. So yes, it is a good thing to be educated on your passion.”
Throwing light into how he’s been able to take care of his mental health while being in the chaotic entertainment industry, the singer said, “I have observed that you can be the richest or the most famous person in the world and yet still be unhappy or unsatisfied on the inside. The internal environment is where true health lies. This means that external stimulation cannot fill the void of internal sanity.
“Everybody you know is looking for the same thing, to be well. Wellness is true wealth. We chase after money so that we can feel it well.”
