It has boast myself esteem more especially hearing people feedback give me a joyful feeling and to know the impact our show has on people is purposeful.

What advice can you give to aspiring radio broadcasters?
One of the most important things to do when you want to be an entertainer is that focus on your passion, don't be paper chasing. Most great radio presenter start from Community radio stations of which does not pay. So if you are in it for money, you will struggle with it. But if you focus on self growth it is going to help develop character as well as exposure, you will be exposed to different things that can help you advance in your career. Be patient with yourself, while you are focusing on growth and the most important thing is to know why you started.
