Paul Da Prince is one the very busy personalities in Namibia. He sings, presents on both TV and radio, does voiceovers, event hosting and so much more. In times when jobs are hard to get and money does not stick around, Paul Da Prince says one should not shy away from getting extra jobs to help ends meet. He also says it is important to appreciate what one has as a source of income as the next person may not have anything.

“Don't always think it's too much on yourself. Take every job as an opportunity and be thankful that you can do it,” he told tjil.

The forever busy artist who is also a club DJ and a Unam media graduate advises students not to wait until graduation day to start looking for jobs. He says interning while studying helps elevate one's chances and this also allows one to build a brand for themselves. Acquiring skills is important as an investment according to Paul Da Prince and it's never too soon to start.

One of the readily available resources where the 'Don't Tell Nobody' singer used to enhance his skills is the internet. Paul Da Prince says a lot of people have access to it but use it for the wrong reasons. He urges people to start watching tutorials of things they that interest them to become better in the job. The event host also says that hobbies can earn one an income and that they should not be overlooked.

“Invest in something. You can't say you love music if you don't buy a microphone when you have the funds, you know. Kalux never had a studio when he started but he started by buying a speaker and today he has a home studio. Jaleel too… he would call people for beats but they didn't want to until he learned how to make beats himself,” says Paul Da Prince.

Paul Da Prince is currently nominated in the Simply You Lifestyle and Fashion Awards in the category Favourite TV Personality. Vote for him by sending FTVP-Paul to 5001.
