I pressured myself into going back to school – Natty Borax talks about his time in school and early days of fame

Born Nat Adjetey Larbi but popularly known as Natty Borax, the Ghanaian hiplife artiste has said that he pressured himself to go back to school after deciding to focus on music when his secondary education came to an end.

When asked why he went missing in action for some number of years in the music space, the renowned hiplife artiste mentioned that he pressured himself to go back to school and graduated in 2013.

“I think basically it’s school. I had a change of mind to go back to school; GIMPA. I graduated in 2013, way before Samini and the others came in. I pressured myself. I completed Accra Academy and I was brilliant; just that truancy and music made me neglect school. After everything was said and done, I realized that I have seen it all so why not go to school,” he stated.

The reggae musician recounted how his early days in the music industry were like. This was the period where he took a break after completing Accra Academy to focus solely on music.

“When I was in school, I told myself that I’ll do a song with Daddy Lumba or Rex Omar and lo and behold when I came out of school and met Deeba, we did ‘Ahoafe Hemaa’. A few months later, I met Daddy Lumba. It’s like what I professed with my tongue manifested. We came out and the song was big everywhere and at that age, the fame, money and beautiful women I was seeing were fantastic. I even bought a BMW sports car in 2001/2,” he noted.

He continued, “People travelled all the way from the UK and America to see me. I had never travelled before at the time. There was a time J.A Kuffour shook hands with me. Prior to his ascending the throne of the presidency, he used ‘Asie Ho’ as his slogan.”

In an appearance on 3FM Drive hosted by Giovanni Caleb and AJ Sarpong, the legendary musician, moving away from his early days of fame, said that after completing of GIMPA and his national service which he did at the Parliament House, he couldn’t help but get back into the music industry.

“I studied marketing at GIMPA. I travelled to the UK on vacation until I completed it. I had to do my service so I served at the Parliament house. I had to chop off my dreadlocks as it is a jurisdiction that frowns on certain things. I had to serve the nation so I had to sacrifice my hair. After all was said and done, an opportunity came for me to work there but because of my love for music, I couldn’t forgo certain things. I had to come back to music,” he said.
