Kwame

Hi, my name is Kwame. I am originally from Windsor, Connecticut. I love music, walks on the beach, great analytical discussions, and sci-fi; I'm a complete nerd! A little known fact about me is that I was a musician at one point in my life, and I even toured with some decent acts to supplement my college tuition before leaving the stage forever. Being on the radio is my job, but helping in the community is what wakes me up in the morning, and the radio is just the vehicle that allows me to do that. Check me out every afternoon on the Q from 3-7p!
