The host of the Drive Show on Hitz 103.9FM, Kwame B, yesterday celebrated his five years of his radio life at the station. Kwame joined Hitz FM in April 2008 and has since held the station�s drive time slot �Cruise Control� in check. To mark his five years on air, his drive time programme, �Cruise Control� was aired lived from the Rhapsody�s bar inside Accra Mall yesterday. The party also served as a networking and socialization platform, bringing together all friends to relive memories of their past days. The party attracted a large number of showbiz personalities as well as certain seasoned movie producers from Nigeria and South Africa. Kwame B serves his listeners with a healthy dose of R&B, Hiphop, Reggae, Dancehall, Hiplife and more. Born Reynold Kwame Empeh, Kwame�s love for entertainment began as a little boy. He performed in school whenever events were organized. In 1999, Kwame and the Black Sheep recorded a song for Care International on HIV awareness in the Western Region. A year later, Kwame was introduced to radio when he began featuring on Dynamite FM, a campus radio station in Tarkwa. The following year, he moved to the Volta Region to work for the Volta Star Radio, from where he was then invited to play on Luv FM in Kumasi. A week later, he was asked to play on Joy FM for awhile. To hone his craft further, Kwame moved to Takoradi and joined Goodnews FM, where he quickly became the toast of the city. Soon, all the stations in the city were clamouring for him as Kwame Burga became a household name in Takoradi. It was only natural that he would join what at that time was the leading station in the Western Region, Skyy Power. That marked the dawn of a new era for him in broadcasting as he began presenting on TV. His next stop was Radio Maxx, where he stayed for a year, after which he moved to Accra to join Hitz FM in April 2008. Kwame is currently the host of �Cruise Control�, the drive show on Hitz FM.
