Oakland teen has been accepted to 122 colleges with $5.3 million in scholarships. His choice came down to his love of music


Helms Ategeka wants to be a pop star. But when he told his dad he planned to pursue a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly thrilled. At Head-Royce High School in Oakland he’s part of an a cappella group that meets every week to belt out covers of popular pop music. I spend most of my time either listening to music, making music or out there performing,” Helms says. Chris Ategeka says his son proved he’s serious about a music career by getting accepted to so many colleges.
