He warmed hearts when he won MTN Hitmaker 5 back in 2016 but Kurl Songx is looking the other way in growing his music career as a teacher.

The ‘Feeling’ singer says he intends to go back to teaching at some point in the future, but not in the capacity of a pupil-teacher as he did in the past.

He made headlines in the recent past over an inadequate salary during his two years of teaching at an Accra-based school. Despite what happened, the ex-member of Highly Spiritual Music is still looking forward to getting back into teaching this time as a full-time music instructor.

“I will go back to the classroom but not to the regular I was doing some time ago. I would do something different and more advanced. I used to teach ICT, Science etc but I will do something different this time,” he told New Y 102.5 FM's NY DJ during the "Ryse N Shyne" show.

In addition to that, he added that one of his goals was to build a music school in the nation with the purpose of educating musically talented individuals. Songx feels that Ghana lags behind when it comes to music studies which have a direct effect on the industry in the long term.

“I have a vision of establishing a music school in Ghana to groom and teach people about music and help up-and-coming acts,” he stated.

The singer is currently marketing his recent single, "Wow," featuring Mr Drew.
