A prodigy his whole life, by the time he graduated high school he’d made his school’s baseball and basketball varsity teams, a sports scholarship to Durham, North Carolina’s Duke University followed where he was on the fast track to a professional career before disaster struck.įollowing his second year there, Stud was struck down with chronic arm issues that required surgery that took him out of commission for his entire 2009 season. Practically ancient in these post-Lorde years, and that’s because his first passion was sports. In this particular case I’m talking about Mike Stud, one of the hip-hop world’s most promising newcomers who didn’t start writing and releasing music on the internet until he was twenty two years old. Rest assured I’m not talking about Wayne Rooney’s karaoke take on Valerie.

However that’s beginning to change, we have musicians who actually can act and actors who actually can write music, and weirdest of all, we have sportsmen who don’t embarrass everyone in the known world when they get involved with music. When any artist getting involved in something like acting or, heaven forbid it, an actor getting involved in music would have been ridiculed as a poser of the highest order. There was once a time when musicians were musicians and artists stuck to what they were good at. Maybe we’re just getting better at multi-tasking as time goes on.
