Kumawood actor, Salinko has attributed his success as an actor to Ghanaian musician, Noble Nketia.
Speaking in an interview with actress Emelia Brobbey on the “Okukuseku” show, the Kumawood actor has said that he knew the musician a long time before he even became a musician.
Salinko claims he and Noble Nketia were footballers, but the duo chose different paths after realizing that football would not help them.
According to Salinko, he discovered he could be a good actor through Noble Nketia.
The actor claims he took his formal education seriously because he had always wanted to become a renowned lawyer.
Recounting how it all started, Salinko said that they were both at an undisclosed location where Noble Nketia linked him to Prince Media, where Mc Abraham was working initially.
Linking up with Bernard at Prince Media, Salinko said he was learning how to edit and handle cameras for shooting.
He added that one Reverend Nasap sought permission from Noble Nketia and Bernard to send him to Accra so he could polish his talent.
Salinko claims he went to Accra to do “ ” with Basket Mouth and through the support of EIB Network boss, Bola Ray, he became the Salinko he is today.
He, however, said that Noble Nketia has been through hell, the reason why he released his song dubbed “S3 me tease”.
“Noble pushed me to become who I am today because the school I was attending the focus was to become a renowned lawyer. But in our vicinity, people said I was very funny. Noble Nketia linked me to Prince Media, where Reverend Sarpong Mc Abraham works. So I was working with one Bernard. I was learning editing and camera. Then one Reverend Nasap sought permission from Noble Nketia and Bernard to send me to Accra because I was very funny”, Salinko said.
He added “In Accra, I came to do where I met Basket Mouth and Paa Kwasi Arko. Paa Kwasi Arko was the producer so I went to Bola Ray and I told him that what the man was doing on stage I could do some, I could make them laugh. So Bola made me go to Paa Kwasi. Paa Kwasi told me to come the following week”.
