With the release of the internationally popular hit song “Dorobucci” in 2014, Korede, who is best known for his smash tune “Godwin,” a semi-gospel/pop song that topped numerous music charts across Nigeria, got a record deal with Mavin Records.
Oluwakorede Bello, better known by his stage name Korede Bello, is a well-known musician and songwriter from Nigeria who recently revealed the reason behind leaving his lucrative music industry to seek a degree in mass communication.
When the globally popular smash song “Dorobucci” was released in 2014, Korede, who is best known for his hit tune “Godwin,” a semi-gospel/pop song that topped numerous music charts across Nigeria, got a record deal with Mavin Records.
But when his popularity was at its height, the singer went back to school to get his degree in mass communication.
In a recent interview with The New Telegraph, the singer opens up about how he has been able to cope with the mental health struggles that come with being in the entertainment industry, as well as his decision to leave 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.”
