Ghanaian artiste, Kwaw Kese has explained how he narrowly escaped madness when suffering through his bout of depression.

He admitted that he is now more responsible for his life after his brief episode of depression. The legendary artiste said this when explaining the motive behind his new track 'Victory'.

Kwaw Kese said the song was born out of all the struggles he's passed through in life while speaking with MzGee on TV3’s New Day Wednesday, September 9.

“The whole album is called Victory. The song is not gospel but motivational. I think I’ve grown from the crazy Kwaw to a more responsible Kwaw now so most of my songs are like songs that are going to touch hearts to more. It’s going to inspire people to show love,”

“I can’t be like the Kwaw 15 years ago now. Now I have grown, I have kids, family, and people who look up to me.”

“In 2014, after my manager was killed in cold blood and the same year I got divorced, got arrested and sent to prison, all these three things happening in one year, at a point I decided not to do music again.

“At that time, I had nobody to look up to apart from God. I was really depressed and didn’t want to do music again. I didn’t know what to do with my life but God spoke to me, I listened and I came back to Ghana and that was better."

“I was depressed for four months. I heard a voice telling me I was stronger than this and people look up to you so go back and do what you have to do.” He concluded.
