Max D. Capo | Why I QUIT being a Scientist to became a SINGER in JAPAN | ft. Mayowa @MaxDCapo | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Mayowa talks about his journey from being a science research PhD student to a soon-to-debut singer in Japan (2021) and the chaos that let to such a drastic change. From zero Japanese to becoming a singer, he’s out to prove that if you work hard you can do anything!
I met Mayowa in 2020 right after he moved to Tokyo DURING the pandemic, and it's been over a year of waiting for his Japan-debut... which is right around the corner. Follow him on Instagram for updates on when he will drop his first Japanese album!
