Paul Ankrah

Paul is a forestry and wood processing consultant by profession but has a deep passion and love for music. Djing and radio broadcasting is his hobby. He began as a DJ in 1976 in Ghana and loves many genres of music; soul, rnb, funk, pop, jazz, classical, afro beats, highlife, latin and old skool. In 1984 he moved over to the UK to further his studies and played in many UK clubs during his 27 year stay. He co-hosted the Ipswich MTV Lick party and BBC’s Rhythm Nation Ipswich tour with Trevor Nelson of the BBC in the late 1990’s. His radio career began in 1995 when he hosted the Saturday Superjam with Vibes FM, a local pirate radio station based in Ipswich in Suffolk. Until recently he hosted Groove Control on United DJ’s, and is currently the host of the Groove Connection on Fridays on Sunshine. The show cuts across many genres of music and showcases the legendary music and artistes of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with a dash of contemporary music for good measure.
