DESPITE enrolling at the University of Zimbabwe, musician Brandon “Bee” Nkala said he is more passionate about music rather than his academics.
Nkala, a 23-year-old veterinary science third year student said he does not see himself using his educational qualification in the future as he plans to be a full-time artist.
Nkala fuses Afro beats and reggae and has seven songs under his belt- Usadzoke, Nakupenda, Bho Here, Ruva Remoyo and Zvisina Basa, among others.
Unlike many people who go to university to acquire a degree and get a full-time professional job, Nkala said he is there to create social capital that he will use in the future when he becomes a full time musician.
“To be honest, I do not see myself making a living from books and the degree I am studying towards,” Nkala said.
“I do not intend to practice after my studies because most of my time will be directed to singing. I am not that passionate about books as compared to music.”
Nkala revealed that he accidentally stumbled into music back in school.
“My music journey started as an accident when I was in sixth grade, I joined a choir group because it was the only vacant club left and to my surprise I was given the solo part for the final competitions.
