Nonetheless at the peak of his music career, the musician went back to school to pursue a degree in Mass Communication.

In a recent interview with ‘The New Telegraph,’ the artist opened up about how he has been able to manage the mental health struggles that come with being in the music industry, as well as his decision to quit his music career and study mass communication.

“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,”

He said.

Speaking further, he said:

“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.”
