Multiple award-winning musician and songwriter Ann Singer recently entered the industry of selling houses.
The Windhoek-born musician graduated in May with a diploma in real estate management from Triumphant College.
"I enrolled in the course back in June 2022 and I'm now a diploma hotter," she says.
Singer hopes she can inspire others to pursue new dreams and expand their horizons, no matter their age.
"Take that course, educate yourself and equip yourself with all the knowledge that you need to enter whatever market you want. You can be whatever and whoever you want to be. Stay bulletproof," she says.
Singer decided on real estate because she has always been interested in property and how the real estate market works. She believes it is a field that offers a lot of opportunities and stability, which is important for her future.
The 'Bullet Proof' hitmaker says it is crucial to have multiple streams of income and to think about long-term financial security, particularly as an artist.
"I am also a mother and I am always thinking and looking for ways to make more money in order to be able to give my children a comfortable life. I think real estate is a solid investment and having formal education in this field will allow me to make informed decisions and potentially help others with their property needs as well."
Singer says she is optimistic about the future and is super excited about this new chapter in her life.
