Berita on juggling studies and working on new music

Afro-soul singer and songwriter Berita is working extra hard, balancing her music career with her academic ambitions.

Earlier this month, the singer-songwriter graduated from the University of Pretoria with an Advanced Diploma in Business Administration.

Speaking to The Citizen, Berita said her decision to return to education was driven by a desire to strengthen her leadership and business skills in the ever-evolving creative industry.

“This milestone represents growth and resilience. I was inspired by a desire to better navigate the music business and build long-term impact as a creative entrepreneur.”

Berita said balancing her music career with her studies was no easy feat.

“It was tough, but I stayed focused, managed my time carefully, and leaned on the support of my team and peers. Passion is what kept me going.”

New music in the pipeline for Berita’s fans

Berita is currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, part of the University of Pretoria.

She is also preparing to release new music.

“I’m preparing to release new music while continuing my studies, and I’m exploring ways to merge creativity, business, and social impact.”

Berita also has several performances lined up this year, including the prestigious Standard Bank Joy of Jazz on 26 September.

“I’m also excited to perform at the Mayibuye iAfrika Concert at Joburg Theatre on the 28th and 29th of June,” she shared.
