Omah Lay stated in an interview that he was in desperate need of money for school since, in addition to attending classes, he was undergoing training in music production.

Omah Lay, who seemed passionate about music production, admitted that he had to leave school for both financial and music production time constraints.

He continued by saying that although he had initially intended to return to school, circumstances changed and he hasn’t been able to do so until now.

He said:

“I was in the university for like half a year, and I stopped. I just dropped out. Yeah, it was a hard choice to make because at that time I was just learning music production and I needed financing for school. I needed time for music production.”

“Somehow, I just loved music production so much I could let go of school for music production. I felt like maybe sometime I will come back but when I got really deep into music production, I didn’t go back to school, and I didn’t even have the time.”

“At some point, it felt like a wrong choice, but then, things started clicking, I started making beats that I love, that people wow. I started writing songs for people and people didn’t believe that that was me, and I just kept doing it until I found myself in Germany right now. I’m here right now, I’m doing this interview right now.”
