He said to Kwame Dadzie on Joy Prime that his thoughts of obtaining more hit songs and keeping up with the competition in the music business caused him to experience despair.<\/p>\n
– –<\/span><\/p>\nBut Okyeame pointed out that when he fell in love with nature, it was his escape. He became interested in climate change issues, which is why he has recently supported many climate change initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was turning 40, I became depressed. I didn\u2019t like my life. So I stayed in doors for almost a year. I didn\u2019t release an album, I didn\u2019t pick any calls. I stayed in-doors for almost a year reflecting.<\/p>\n
And after I came out of that depression, I realized that most of the things that depressed me (the way the society sees me, where I wanted my music to get to that it wasn\u2019t getting to, the insatiable desire to become number one, the urge that I have to compete) all those are things are things that become a part of consumerism. They are things that will cause one to do things without considering the feeling of others without considering the feelings of the universe,\u201d he said in the interview.<\/p>\n
The Climate Clock Ambassador also noted that on his journey to rediscovering himself, he realised that the concept of \u2018self\u2019 doesn\u2019t mean \u2018him\u2019 as an individual but rather the people around him, the trees and the animals.<\/p>\n
