Nigerian artist Duncan Mighty is charting a new course, not just in his music career but in academia as well, as he reveals his ambition to attain a Doctorate of Philosophy degree (PhD).
The acclaimed ‘Port Harcourt First Son’ disclosed his academic aspirations during a recent interview with 3Music TV in Accra, Ghana. He disclosed that his decision to temporarily step away from the music scene was to dedicate time to his education, emphasizing the significance of being well-rounded in both talent and knowledge.
“I have to back it up with education,” Duncan Mighty asserted, highlighting his academic journey which includes a Master of Science degree in Acoustics from Freiburg University, Germany. Reflecting on his experience studying at an international institution where non-English languages were predominant, he underscored the value of perseverance and adaptability.
