Renowned Ghanaian Highlife singer, Kwabena Kwabena, says marrying in his 20s stole precious years of his life.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix, the \u2018Aso\u2019 hitmaker said he should have concentrated on his young and blossoming career instead of settling down.<\/p>\n

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

But despite what he believes were missed opportunities to enjoy his life at the time, Kwabena Kwabena says he is happy to reclaim such lost moments now.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that he is now older, wiser and understands the importance of seizing opportunities and not taking anything for granted.<\/p>\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. That\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.\u201d<\/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.<\/p>\n

While others may wallow in misery, the \u2018Fa Me Saa\u2019 singer prefers to capitalise on difficult circumstances like heartbreaks to write his best love songs.<\/p>\n

In an earlier interview with George Quaye on A-Z in January, Kwabena Kwabena said he channels his energy into writing beautiful songs when he is emotionally down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best time for me to write great songs is when I am heartbroken. So I love it. I love those moments\u201d, he revealed.<\/p>\n
