Reflecting on his journey, Kojo Junior said, "I never thought of becoming an influencer. It all began on Twitter during the lockdown. I was just posting voice notes about my life and began getting noticed, although I was still doing my 9-5 job. It all blew up with one of my videos where I visited a bank I didn’t even have an account with. I went to chill in their air conditioner, drank some water, recorded a video, and shared it. People loved it."
When asked why he chose to use his mother tongue, Kojo explained, "I wanted to be unique. I realized everyone was using English, but I’m from Kumasi and speak Twi very well. Besides, no one was doing voiceovers in Twi. I then recorded the first one and people loved it too."

He continued that "it got to a point where anytime I stepped out, people would tell me how I made them happy and smile with my videos. Even if I was going through a rough patch in my life, my videos could still make people smile. That was when I decided to make content creation a part of me."
"It took me a long time to find my direction. Initially, I was just creating videos, but later I wanted my content to tell my story and also resonate with people ," Kojo reflects.
