Eva Alordiah on why she took a break from her music career
''A few years ago I walked away from a seemingly "successful" music career. I was burnt out. Depression had taken an almost permanent seat beside me.
My bank balance was just enough to buy my next meal. If there was a picture of the phrase "Starving Artist", it would have been my damn face.
One day, I said
"Fuck it! I got myself here, I'm gonna get myself out. I invested the next 3 years in relentless self development:
- building my body
- reading ferociously
- taking care of my mind
- investing in online courses
- learning how to make money
- building multiple online businessesI look back and I swear I wouldn't change a thing! Taking responsibility for my shit helped me get my life back. Today my life is so much better because I was bold enough to say- "Na me fuck up!"
