Dropped out twice

One of the bravest decision the musician made was his resolve to quit school and concentrate on his music career. Of course, this doesn't go down well with his family, his father especially. Initially he was a student of LASU but he later dropped out. Once again he decided to go back to school and this time, he studied "International Relations" at Lead City University. He later called it quits after two semesters to give music full-time focus.

Quite strangely, the decision paid off. Maybe school is not for everyone after all.
