Veteran record producer ID Cabasa, also known as Olumide Ogunade, has stated that he worked for two banks prior to leaving the banking industry to pursue his musical career.
He claimed that because music has always been his passion, he made the choice.
During a recent Debbie Show TV show, Cabasa revealed that he had studied medicine for two years before deciding to switch to economics.
He said, “I did medicine for two years, then went to study economics. After my masters, I worked with two Nigerian banks and then I went into music.
“My parents wanted me to be a doctor. When I got admission to study medicine, I knew I was not going to do that. So I wrote another JAMB and was admitted into Lagos State University to study economics. I couldn’t study music then because it wasn’t seen as a career, unlike now. Initially, I was doing music just for the passion.
“Despite studying economics, I always knew I would do music. Not just music. If I tell people that music was not the first thing that I did in art, they won’t believe me. It was acting.”
