“Juggling a music career and school has been a challenge. In the first term, I did not do as well as I should have because I was trying to manage both gigs and my schoolwork. Sometimes, I would have gigs on weekends when I should have been attending extra classes. It was a tough year but I managed to handle both. Now, we wait for the big day,” she said.
