According to him, “When I decide to promote a song, I don’t just play the songs submitted by either an underground, growing or an already established artiste; but I make sure I present it to you (my listeners) to hear them first and also play on my show regularly.”
Adding, “When it comes to Ghanaian Music, no matter who you are, be you an underground or a star; once your song is good, I make sure I play it on my show.”
