He was really brought up in a disciplined home and received training that has greatly impacted his career.

With regards to his educational background,Odifour didn’t attend a good school,he was dropped out of school in six form because of financial constraints .

He started his radio career at Otec Fm in Kumasi in the early 90s.He was introduced into radio by a friend who was a raggae presenter at Otec Fm

On the road to a blistering radio career,Odifour who is also a good musician,was featured on the raggae show and after performing delectably on the show, the callers who contributed on the show recommended him to the station, then he started working there.

After working at Otec Fm and the multimedia group,he moved to Fox Fm which is a sister station to Hot Fm in Accra.
