Andy Dosty is a renowned radio presenter
Ghanaian actor Bernard Aduse Poku has credited seasoned broadcaster and DJ, Andy Dosty, for playing a pivotal role in launching his career in entertainment.
In an appearance on The Delay Show, Bernard recounted how a chance encounter with Andy during his post-secondary school days opened the door to radio and national recognition.
“There’s a movie called Asem where I played the role of ‘Koo Musuo’—that was what made me popular, and that’s because Andy Dosty always referred to me by that name on radio,” Bernard said. “That movie was really huge. It had Santo, Judas, and other greats.”
In Asem, Bernard played the villainous character ‘Koo Musuo’—a cruel and evil figure that left a lasting impression on audiences. According to him, it was Andy Dosty’s constant mention of the name on his radio shows that helped elevate the character and, by extension, Bernard’s public profile.
Beyond just name recognition, Bernard revealed that Andy Dosty offered him his first opportunity on radio during the veteran DJ’s days at Otec FM in Kumasi.
“I was done with Senior Secondary School and was waiting two years before entering tertiary, as was the system back then. Andy picked me like a younger brother. He told me to come on radio anytime I was free, and that’s how I became a pundit on his show.”
Hailing from Ashtown just like Andy, Bernard praised the radio icon for his rare ability to discover and nurture talent. “There is something about him—maybe he hasn’t even realized it—his ability to spot potential in people,” Bernard added.
Interestingly, Andy Dosty’s knack for discovering fresh faces isn’t limited to actors or radio pundits. Years ago, the revered Hitz FM presenter shared a story of how he introduced renowned media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, widely known as Delay, to DJing in a nightclub.
According to Andy, he met Delay through a mutual friend at a nightspot where he was spinning records. Without hesitation, he invited her into the DJ booth and handed her the decks. “I quickly dragged her into the DJ’s booth and handed the CD decks to her—and she drove revelers crazy,” he shared in a Facebook post.
This blend of stories paints a clear picture of Andy Dosty not just as a household name in radio and entertainment, but as a hidden force behind some of Ghana’s beloved media talents.
From the radio waves of Kumasi to the bright lights of Accra’s entertainment scene, Andy Dosty continues to leave an indelible mark—not just with his voice, but with his vision.
