''I used to tag along with my industry friend Kweku Manu, carrying porridge as he went about hanging the posters of newly released movies that featured the likes of Agya Koo.
''One day, I woke up to realise someone had hanged my poster. I was overjoyed,'' he said.
Naro indicated that it was during this period that he discovered his newfound love of music.
