What did you do before filmmaking?

Before going into visual production from behind the camera, as everyone knows, I was IN FRONT of the camera and on radio.

Radio was fun.

I can TALK for Africa if I’m comfortable. So, that was a great experience for me. And back then I had the luxury of choosing my playlist so I always wanted to educated people with music.

I’d play a Diddy song, and blend it in with some good ol’ Frank Sinatra. I used to have this segment of my Sunday show “Sunday At The Seaside” where I’d play a recent hit and the audience had to guess what oldie it sampled.

For instance I’d play Kanye West’s THROUGH THE WIRE and play Chaka Khan’s THROUGH THE FIRE right after.

Radio days were AWESOME! I truly miss it.

I think I’d be in my perfect element if I went back to it. Unfortunately, I travel a lot so would not be able to commit to a station, unless it was pre-recorded.

TV hosting eventually joined the mix. I used to do some gigs on the then newly opened TV arm of Rhythm. Then came along Studio 53, Soundcity etc.

Great times. Great, GREAT TIMES!
