“I must have a PhD” – Duncan Mighty reveals why he took a break from music
Renowned Nigerian artist, Duncan Mighty, has unveiled the motive behind his hiatus from the music scene, expressing his determination to pursue a Ph.D. degree. The singer revealed that he temporarily stepped away from music to focus on advancing his education.
Duncan Mighty shared this insight during an interview with 3Music TV in Accra, Ghana. He disclosed that he holds a Master of Science degree in Acoustics from Freiburg University in Germany, emphasizing the importance of education.
He encouraged fellow artists to prioritize their education alongside their talents, recognizing that talent alone might not suffice in the long run.
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”
