Artistes inspire their listeners through their music, but it is few of them who inspire through their actions. Having aspired to higher education, deejays Tanya Stephens and Jeffrey Campbell, aka Assassin, are opening the eyes of others to the value of education.
In a time when some entertainers are involved in somewhat shady deals, lyrical warfare and a fast and loose lifestyle, it is not common to find an artiste with their head firmly in place. In 2006, Assassin was awarded a scholarship to study by Resource Development International (RDI) to pursue a degree online and this year, Tanya Stephens was awarded the same scholarship.
Both deejays are studying at the University of Sunderland in England, where they pursue degrees in Business Management through Internet-based classes. However, the likelihood that both scholarships (which are offered to one recipient each year) should be awarded to entertainers is a coincidence says Aldain Reid, regional director of RDI, North Caribbean.
