Kurl Songx about leaving teaching to pursue music

“It all started in 2016 when I was a teacher. I woke up one morning and decided to search for a different job. I was struggling here in Accra and that time I was teaching.

My salary was GH¢90 so I went to Takoradi to search for a different job. On my way back home, I met this young man on the bus who watched me years ago on Vodafone Icons reality show. He asked me what happened to my music career. I was like I am focusing on how to survive and he said no I have great talent and should continue pushing. 

He convinced me and told me about MTN Hitmaker. Coincidentally, they were having an audition for MTN Hitmaker that day. So we quickly went to the venue and I auditioned and by God’s grace I qualified.” 

Currently, he is on Kaywa’s Highly Spiritual Music label.

“Back in the days I had to struggle to get into studio to record but now we have a studio at our disposal because I am signed to Highly Spiritual and we don’t have to hustle anymore.” 

Kurl Songs discovered his drive for singing at age 16 and used to follow his friends who do music. However, he never knew he could become a musician since becoming a pilot was his major dream.

According to Kurl Songx, “I never abandoned teaching. It was just that I was passionate about music. I love the kids; that was why I was teaching.”
