Ghanaian dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has revealed that before becoming a successful musician, he once dreamed of joining the military because of his love for discipline and order.

Speaking about his early ambitions in an interview shared online, the award-winning artiste said careers like being a lawyer and a doctor are respected, but his personal interest was always drawn to the military lifestyle.

I believe if I became a lawyer, it is prestigious, and if I became a doctor, it's also prestigious, but then I didn't. Personally, I would love to be a soldier because I love the uniform and the discipline that come with it, he said.

According to him, the structured nature of military life fascinated him from a young age. He explained that his upbringing played a major role in shaping his love for discipline and order.

It fascinates me to be in the military. I love that because I'm one person who was grown like that. I think the influence was right there—the discipline, I love discipline, the orderliness, he added.

Stonebwoy also shared that although his parents did not force him into any specific career path, he faced a few challenges with his father when he was younger.

My parents did not actually push or force me, especially my mom. As the days went along and times were changing and I was becoming what I was becoming, I had a little hurdles with my dad at first, but it is what it is—you can't stop what it's supposed to be, he explained

The musician noted that if he had truly decided to become a doctor, he believes nothing would have stopped him from pursuing that path.

If I was to become a doctor, I'm not sure anybody could have stopped me, he said.

Today, Stonebwoy is widely known for his contributions to the Ghanaian music industry.
