'I abandoned university for music after writing JAMB 5 times' – Crayon

Mavin Records artiste Crayon has narrated how he abandoned his University education to do music after writing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) 5 times.

Speaking during an interview with Hip TV, Crayon noted that after several unsuccessful admissions, he decided to focus on his music career.

He said the fifth time he arrived to write jamb, he left the paper halfway and left the hall.

According to the singer, one of his friends named Baby Fresh encouraged him to pursue his music career and sacrifice his education.

He said;

“On the fifth try, I had already met Baby Fresh, who used to work at Mavin. Juggling school and music simultaneously is quite stressful in Nigeria. Music alone is demanding,” he said.

“So I sat down with my parents and told them, ‘Mom and Dad, I want to pursue music.’ I explained that it felt like my heart was leading me in that direction. My dad suggested that I give the fifth try a chance, and if it didn’t work out, I could pursue music.”

Crayon said his decision to chase his music career, that was when he met Don Jazzy who signed him to his record label, Mavin Records.
