Apart from family relations and friends, Carl Kenneth Ofori wouldn’t ring a bell, rather Dr. Carl, a name common to many listeners of Radio Universe.
His family valued education and little Carl always found himself in the classroom though usually against his desire. That was his mother’s only means of keeping him away from the streets and a suburb that could boast of copious social vices. Spending much time with his elder brother, he was introduced to hip hop music which he later fell in love with.
While at Dansoman based Wesley Grammar High School, he realised his potentials as a master of ceremony. The Black James Bond rallied his peers for rap competitions and later started hosting entertainment shows leading into a strong passion for radio.
“I finally got into radio in 2003 after months of attachment at Unique Fm where I learnt the rudiments of radio. Then a freshman at the University of Ghana, I was offered a spot at Radio Universe and under the tutelage of now Joy Fm front liner, Dzifa Bampoe and Sitso. I started as a member of the production team for a music show then Dzifa’s morning show”.
Handed the Space Jam, the ‘green’ Carl was placed on the spotlight which eventually brought him his shine. He stood his grounds to introduce an alternative procedure to transform the show. Then perceived as controversial, it finally paid off with immense success as his show attracted a huge listenership.
In 2008 the BA Political Science graduate launched the Ghetto Skola Cloth line to exhibit his entrepreneurial abilities. Unlike promoting Ghanaian music as he does on radio, he wanted to do more for himself.
“I became a scholar right from the ghettos and I want to serve as an example to others. I believe everyone posses the power to become whoever he desires, if they are ready to confront their challenges and frustrations”.
His latest add-on is the Grandaddy Multimedia, a marketing communication company which he hopes to become a giant in less than a decade. Grandaddy Multimedia is the power behind Radio Universe’s current online project.
