BARRY BATTLE: So, I tried school out twice. I left, being that I had the opportunity to tour with Fetty Wap at the peak of his career.
HANNAH LORENZO, BYLINE: Columbia University door attendant and former musician, Barry Battle.
BATTLE: After a certain amount of time, I just felt like I’ve reached a point of my career where I could step away from it. I’ve inspired so many others, and I want to just do something more with life, so my education was number one on that list. So, I decided that I want to go back to school, but not only any other school. I wanted to pursue a degree from an ivy league. And the smartest way for me to do so would be to build my relationship with Columbia to be specific. So, I got this job here, left my music career. I just submitted my application for Columbia on January 15.
LORENZO: You’re listening to Uptown Radio. Thursdays at four.
