Emmanuel Osei Darko affectionately called DJ Ras is the brain behind

SANKOFA MEDIA COMPANY, operators of SANKOFA TV, SANKOFA SOUNDZ and SANKOFA

RADIO, the trail blazing Ghanaian online radio station which began

transmission in 2008 in Virginia, United States. For most of his former

classmates that know him by his high school nickname “Obarty”, it comes as

no surprise that this former school prefect of Kumasi High School turned

presenter continues to make moves in the radio industry.

He started djing events and had stints with RADIO CONTACTO, CONTINENTAL

RADIO, and RADIO LINK, all on the campuses of Kwame Nkrumah University of

Science and Technology and Kumasi Polytechnic in the Garden City,

respectively while in secondary school. These on-the-job training

experiences were in addition to understudying popular presenters like JOE

AMEE then of OTEC FM (Kumasi) , Big Shaq now of BOSS FM, Shaq ‘B’ now of

ZURIA FM , and Frankie Taylor (FOX FM) among others.

After his secondary school, he relocated to the United States in 2001 where

he trained and worked for Virginia State University’s campus radio station

WVST 91.3 FM while pursuing his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Within the

same period, he was the host of a community affairs program on AM 820, a

local Gospel station in Richmond, Virginia and also doubled as the board

operator for their sister station WZEZ 100.5 FM for almost 4 years. He most

recently worked for another internet radio station in Washington DC, SIKA

RADIO from 2005 to 2008.

DJ Ras currently hosts Sankofa Happy Hour every Tuesday and Thursday

Evening between 7-9 pm ET and Weekend Warm-up on Fridays 7-10p ET. He also

provides musical services for all occasions on the east coast through his

Sankofa Soundz , a subsidiary of Sankofa Media Company.

The sky is the limit for DJ Ras- he envisions expanding the reach of his

media initiative. He owes his successes chalked so far to God, family, and

his fans. For now he encourages us all to keep listening to SANKOFA RADIO,

for the best in music and more.
