Duncan Mighty explains his decision to give up music.
Nigerian artist Duncan Mighty has opened up about his decision to take a break from music and pursue higher education, aiming to obtain a Doctorate of Philosophy degree (PhD).
In a recent interview with 3Music TV in Accra, Ghana, Duncan Mighty explained that he took a sabbatical from music to concentrate on his studies. He disclosed that he holds a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Acoustics from Freiburg University in Germany.
“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.”
He advised his colleagues to pursue their education with vigor if they are not educated, stressing that “talent is not enough”.
“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.”
