Just yesterday, the former Nigerian president - Olusegun Obasanjo - makes his acting debut at 80. I remember one of his personal events where he hijacked the microphone from the guest musician to sing himself. It was quite hilarious!
If you have Passion for music or any other arts, do not ignore it. Ignoring it is like nursing a terminal disease; it will keep eating you up and hunting you. No matter what other things you do, you'd always feel a vacuum, you will always feel incomplete.
Having the love for arts in your heart is not a burden or distraction to your destiny; God put it in there to add colour to your life - to make your life beautiful and make you "more". You do not have to quit your current occupation or career to feed your passion for the arts, just a little step, a little glimpse, a little walk now and then into the world of arts would give you the fulfilment you've been searching everywhere for. There are lots of presidents, governors, lawyers, doctors, bankers, etc, who are seasoned writers, instrumentalists, singers, actors, painters, comedians, etc. Your affinity for the arts is an enhancer, it won't reduce you in anyways. And remember, there's no time in your life that is too early or too late to start embracing the passion.
If you're that person I'm talking to, but you don't know how or where to start from, I am willing to help, I'm willing to counsel you, that's been my ultimate preoccupation - helping people groom and optimize their God-given talent.
