Nigerian singer and songwriter, Korede Bello, has disclosed why he quit music at the peak of his career to pursue a degree in mass communications.

It is worth recalling that Korede Bello, best known for his hit single ‘Godwin’, burst into the scene in 2014 with the release of his hit song ‘Dorobucci’. He signed a record deal with Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records in 2014. At the time, Korede Bello was indeed a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry, with his songs topping many music charts nationwide.

However, at the height of his career, the sensational Nigerian singer went back to school to pursue a degree in mass communications.

In a recent interview with The New Telegraph, Korede Bello discussed why he gave up music at the height of his career to return to school:

“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 my profession.

“Writing a headline is similar to writing a chorus. They both have to be catchy and evoke some emotional reaction. Music and news are both languages of emotional connection. So, it is a good thing to be educated on your passion. I have observed that you can be the most famous or richest person on earth and still be unhappy or unsatisfied on the inside.” He said.
