He gained prominence in the late 2010s after his videos, which he captured from his local community, gained traction on social media.
His poor English-speaking skills and funny demeanour in the videos made him an instant favourite among many Ghanaian netizens.
He later joined the 23TV YouTube channel, where he regularly translated the lyrics of songs from popular Tamale-based musicians, including Fancy Gadam, Macassio, Israhim and many others, to English to help people living outside the region understand them properly.
