Former TV3 employee, MzGee, has detailed how she landed her first real media job at Hitz FM.

MzGee, who quit her job at TV3 after barely 2 years to handle her own affairs, tells Delay in the latest episode of the Delay show, how meeting Nathaniel Attoh was the springboard for her entry into the media.

“What actually happened was that Nathaniel Attoh came to Bond to buy a car from my colleague.  So when he came I came up to him to tell him about. My interest and experience  in the media and gave him a demo to listen to. He told me there was no space in Joy at that moment but he would give it to Mark Okraku Mantey who had just joined Hitz FM to check it out,” MzGee reveals.

Detailing her experience at Hitz FM, the now “Just Being Us” host, reveals that she was not paid for a year and half while at the radio station.

“When I finally joined Hitz FM, I wasn’t paid for one year six months. I wasn’t even a part of the staff,” she stated.

When asked by Delay how she survived without any money, she revealed she had so much support from her family.

“I survived through my dad, my boyfriend at the time and my siblings. They supported me because they knew this was the job I always wanted,” she added.

Sensational Ghanaian singer, songwriter, and performer, Regina Lamisi Awiniman Anabilla Akuka, known by the stage name, Lamisi, has been awarded in the Kingdom of the Netherlands for her exploits in alternative music and for promoting the rich Ghanaian culture to her global audience.

The musician was part of several distinguished individuals and other professionals in the diaspora awarded for flying high the flag of Ghana and contributing their quota to the country’s development in various ways.

The recognition of the musician by the Representative Council of Ghanaian Organisations in the Netherlands (RECOGIN) and the Embassy of Ghana in the Kingdom of the Netherlands happened on Saturday 11th March 2023 at Schepenbergweg in Amsterdam.

Presenting a plaque to the musician, His Excellency Francis Danti Kotia, Ghana’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands commended Lamisi for her great success over the years in representing her people and staying true to her culture, which is evident in her music, costuming, and performances.

“It is important we are doing this today as it shows great respect for you, the others, and the rules you have decided to live by. Honour helps us act in a way that lives up to high ideals, looks out for vulnerable people, and makes a way forward that is better than what has come before; better for everyone. We are convinced this is going to urge you to do more and we also believe that greater things are yet to come for you”, he added.
