Renowned music producer and artist manager Kwesi Ernest recently opened up about his battle with depression following the release of his first gospel album.
In an interview with Adom TV, Ernest discussed the formidable challenges he encountered while trying to establish himself in the gospel music industry during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
He described the experience as an arduous journey marked by financial hardships and high expectations that fell short.
Despite the enthusiasm and support from some church members, the album failed to deliver the financial success he had hoped for, leaving him deeply in debt and feeling disheartened.
“I was under the impression that the album would be financially rewarding,” Ernest reflected. “Instead, I was left with nothing after the launch.”
During this difficult period, his mother was a significant source of support.
Ernest admitted that his depression was so severe it prevented him from leaving his home.
