Getting married in his twenties, according to Ghanaian Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena, was a mistake that cost him valuable years of his life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He believed that rather than getting married at the time, he should have concentrated on his young and burgeoning job.<\/p>\n

Kwabena Kwabena expressed his happiness at the opportunity to now recapture what he feels were lost opportunities to enjoy his life at the time.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix recently, the \u2018Aso\u2019 hitmaker said;\u00a0\u201cThe irony of the whole thing is, I played a role in stealing my whole life away from me at a point.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Kwabena Kwabena pointed out that he is now older and wiser to understand the importance of seizing opportunities and not taking anything for granted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI feel I was a young guy around that time, but by God\u2019s grace, God has given me the chance again to have a second shot of my life.\u201d he bemoaned.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s 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\u2019t want to make it look as if I was a great person and somebody was bad.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that at a point in my life, I should have focused on my career more than any other thing. I shouldn\u2019t have married then,\u201d Kwabena Kwabena said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead of wallowing in misery, Kwabena Kwabena has channeled his difficult experiences, particularly heartbreak, into writing his best love songs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
