The first time James Onen stepped at the door of Sanyu FM Studios; he was going to give a new offering to the audience. For many nights, the radio playing in the background of his living quarters made him feel less alone. But, with time the company it offered became banal.

“Not to sound insensitive, but I felt that the deejay on the show was terrible. I used to wonder to myself, how is it that that guy has a job? Surely I can do it,” recalls the man popularly known as Fatboy.
