Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has said he doesn’t see music as a job but as a lifestyle he is passionate about.
Speaking in a recent interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra, the Afro-fusion star explained that his deep love for music makes it feel more like living his life than doing work.
He noted that he doesn’t take vacations because music is something he would still be doing even if it weren’t his profession.

“Vacations are for people with physically demanding jobs,” Burna Boy said, adding that as someone who enjoys what he does, he finds fulfillment and joy in the creative process rather than needing time away from it.
He said, “I love my job. I don’t consider my job a job. I consider it life. Why do I need a vacation from life?
“It’s not like I am a bricklayer or labourer. That’s what you need vacation from. Not when you’re Burna Boy. My job is literally a lifestyle. It’s what I would wish to do if I wasn’t doing it. So, why would I want a vacation from that? Unless I’m old or have a kid. I don’t even have a kid. There’s nothing I’m vacationing for.”
