How I Dumped Varsity Education For Music After Five UTME Attempts — Crayon

Fast-rising singer, Charles Chukwu aka Crayon, has revealed how he dumped his pursuit for a university education to make music.

In an interview with Hip TV, shared on Wednesday, the Ijo Laba Laba crooner stated that he turned to music after sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination five times.

During his fifth attempt, the singer said he met a music friend named Baby Fresh who inspired him to make a “big sacrifice” for his career.

He said, “At the fifth time, I met Baby Fresh already, he used to work at Mavin. I won’t be able to juggle school and music at the same time because in Nigeria it’s quite stressful. Music alone is crazy.

“So I sat my parents down. I was like, ‘Mum and Dad, I want to make music.’ I said I feel like that’s what my heart is going for. My dad said just try this fifth one, if it doesn’t work out, you can go ahead and do music.”

He added that he walked out of the Post-UTME hall in the University of Lagos, mid-way through the exams, because he didn’t want to scale through with the administration, but face music instead.

The Mavin star stated that it was at that time that he met Don Jazzy, who signed him into the record label.
