K. Fosu said he got depressed when his finances couldn\u2019t meet up with his music career. <\/p>\n<p>Detailing how he got to that point, Mr Fosu explained that he ventured into business but it didn\u2019t go well for him after he cemented his brand in the Ghanaian music industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <\/strong><strong>Industry Players no more in love with Shatta Wale \u2013 3Music CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <strong>Adom FM\u2019<\/strong>s <strong>Work and Happiness<\/strong> show, Mr Fosu told host OPD that depression worried him but it never got to the extreme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started very hot and some financial issues took me down. Now, I have a record label and things are going on well. We all need help to grow. I chased some wrong businesses and all those things made me slow but now I am back,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining how he got out of his depressed state, the highlife musician said he focused more on developing himself and signing onto a new record label . <\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO SEE: <\/strong><strong>Blame media for fading out Ghana\u2019s heritage \u2013 Gyedu Blay Ambolley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thinking and having lots of pressure.
