Tony Doe - Bio

Elijah Ewah [Eli]’s radio journey began with an internship on a campus radio station, UNIBEN FM.

At a Vibes FM, Benin audition, he was told to keep being original as the audience would relate better to his originality.

He would later join the Soundcity Radio Network, in Kano.

Eli believes a keen listening ear is key to good radio broadcasting, paying attention to formats, styles and music of one’s favourite radio stations.

He thinks podcasts are the future of audio and is excited at the freedom of expression the medium offers that’s currently lacking on the radio.

Eli is a proud alumnus of the BRMC.
