He hosts the award-winning programme, ‘It Takes 2’ and he is famous for his ‘too soon’ Castle Milk Stout TV commercial. When asked where he draws his inspiration he said, “I draw my inspiration every morning from my loyal and intelligent listeners and the joy that I bring to them on my show. It brings me much joy when I discover that through my show I have assisted in solving societal problems and contributed one way or the other to national development and progress.”Kwame Sefa Kayi is a father of three kids and tries as much as possible to devote time to his lovely wife with whom he has two 2 kids.

Make a date with him Monday to Friday between 6 and 10 in the morning. Anytime you hear the cock crow “kokoroko” know that it’s Kwame Sefa Kayi calling on Peace FM.
