Why I dropped out of University after six Months – Omah Lay

Popular Nigerian singer Omah Lay has said that he dropped out of university after six months. He made this known in an interview with DW

He said he dropped his tertiary education to concentrate on his music career. According to him, he had to pick between creating time to make music and schooling which did not come easy

He said at some point he thought it was a bad choice up until he started making good beats and writing songs for people

He said: “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 people wow. 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.”
