Renowned Ghanaian Highlife singer, Kwabena Kwabena says marrying in his 20s stole valuable years of his life.
Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix lately and monitored with the aid of Graphic Showbiz, the Aso hitmaker said he should have targeted on his young and blossoming profession at the time different than settling down.
“The irony of the whole thing is, I played a role in stealing my whole life away from me at a point.
“The reason why I am saying that is as at 26 and 27, around that time, I felt that what I should have done was to focus on my career and not allow any external force to derail my train,” he said.
Despite what he believes had been ignored opportunities to enjoy his existence at the time, Kwabena Kwabena said he is glad to reclaim such lost moments now.
Kwabena Kwabena pointed out that he is now older and wiser to apprehend the importance of seizing possibilities and not taking something for granted.
“I feel I was a young guy around that time, but by God’s grace, God has given me the chance again to have a second shot of my life.
“That’s the reason why I am not taking things for granted because around that time, there were other people who have become casualties or were involved, and so I don’t want to make it look as if I was a great person and somebody was bad.
“I feel that at a point in my life, I should have focused on my career more than any other thing. I shouldn’t have married then,” Kwabena Kwabena said.
While others can also wallow in misery, the “Fa Me Saa singer” prefers to capitalise on difficult situations of being heartbroken to write his satisfactory love songs.
In the past interview with George Quaye on Showbiz a-Z in January, Kwabena Kwabena says he channels his power into writing stunning songs when he is heartbroken.
“The best time for me to write great songs is when I am heartbroken. So I love it. I love those moments”, he revealed.
