Media personality and Creative Director for Nineteen57, Kofi Okyere Darko has revealed the age at which he was certain about his life ambitions.

According to him, choosing to pursue a career in media was a decision he made at a tender age, and he followed through on it and succeeded.

He spoke in an interview with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli on the Changes show, sharing how he has managed to stay relevant throughout his career.

“At a very tender age I decided to take this path. By age 7, I knew everything I wanted to do in this life, and I’ve been staying on course.”

Although he needed to adapt and adjust to new developments due to technological advancements, he never relented on his foundational dreams and persisted in achieving them.

This makes him believe that consistency and endurance are the best techniques for success, regardless of the profession an individual chooses to pursue.

As to what inspired him to venture into media, the broadcaster said “My dad had a friend at GBC called Emilia Aladama and she had a show for children. So, I went to visit her one day and saw the technicalities of TV and everything that was happening there and I was like wow! I would want to do this when I grow up and besides that I was always putting my mother’s buckets together and drumming at home.”

KOD has been in Ghana’s media space for over three decades. He has worked with different media houses and is currently the creative director of Nineteen57 and the founder of the annual fashion and music event, Rhythms on Da Runway.

By age 18, he became a full time radio presenter and added television presenting at age 19.

The media mogul has won coveted awards, including the Most Stylish Radio Personality of the Year at the Glitz Style and Most Fashionable Man of the Year at the Exclusive Men of the Year Awards, amongst others.

All of Kofi Okyere-Darko’s achievements are built from the decision he made at age 7, meaning everything is possible with a strong foundation.
