There were so many things I had to do due to circumstances beyond control. I did Taxi driving while working at GBC. It was pretty tough. It was fun meeting people. People will look at me from different angles. It was pretty difficult but I enjoyed it. At a point in time, I realized that I had to do it for monetary reasons,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The man with the sweet and sexy voice told host, KSM, that his claim to fame started as a night club DJ. Narrating how it begun, Tommy Annan Forson while admitting that he was not a fan of radio said he once listened to GBC, heard the intriguing voice of Jim Amekpofor which resonated so well with his ailing spirit and decided  to go meet him the next day.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, after meeting Jim, they became friends and that was how his rise to fame begun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a night club that was opening, called Babylon Night Club. Jim and Benny Owusu Antwi were the DJs. As a friend, we went for the launch and saw what they did. I had no clue about djing. My state of mind was being a mechanic. A couple of times, Benny and Jim didn\u2019t turn up and so the owner of the night club said, \u2018why don\u2019t you go and play some music?\u2019\u2026 I started doing that and gradually, I picked up. Tommy Annan Forson became a sensation. Night club DJ,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Annan Forson is the founder and owner of RABODEF Radio Academy.
