He was also inspired by his mother who was a broadcaster.

The award-winning journalist revealed he started writing in secondary school and was an on-and-off member of the drama group.

Whilst writing for newspapers after school, a friend of his informed him about an opening at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) for a TV theatre position.

Later, he met a man called Ekow Budu-Manuel, then a presenter of a youth programme at GBC, who gave him his first lessons in broadcasting and made him a production assistant on his show.

Along the line, he left GBC to radio gold as the first presenter they employed in September 1995.

He transitioned from there to Peace FM four years later and he has been there since.
