laughter, nostalgia and honesty.
Dr. Likee, known for his unmistakable street-style
comedy, reflects on his humble beginnings and the hard work that fuels his

experience come with a duty to guide others.
Together, Dr. Likee and Opoku Bilson use humor as a
bridge to connect people, spark conversation and showcase the everyday

supported him over the years.

gave me dollars to buy my first camera”
He goes on to appreciate Sarkodie, Shatta Wale,
Medikal and many other unnamed figures who have supported him and his team
along the way.
