Gospel musician Diana Hamilton has shared a candid insight into her relationship with music, revealing why she does not consider herself a professional musician, despite her widespread success.

In a yet-to-air episode of The Career Trail (Episode 10) on Joy Learning TV and Joy News, Mrs Hamilton explained that, unlike many artists who define their career solely by music, she views her musical path differently.

“I struggle to say I am doing music professionally because I am not. That is why I would always go back to nursing. I never said this is the right time. Anywhere I saw the microphone, and I was given a chance, I picked it,” she emphasized.

Diana recalled how her passion for music began early in life.

“I remember in church, at 13, I took the microphone to sing because it was my birthday and my teacher had taught me a song, and I sang it. But even prior to that, whenever they gave me a long list to recite something, I would turn it into a song,” she recounted.

For Diana, music has been more of a calling and opportunity than a traditional career pursuit. Even as she rose to fame with hit songs and awards, nursing has remained a significant part of her identity.

This episode of The Career Trail airs on Saturday, June 28, at 4 p.m. on Joy Learning TV and at 6:30 p.m. on Joy News.

The programme will also stream live on the YouTube and Facebook pages of both channels, @JoyLearningTV and @JoyNews.
