Who is Jakes Nyanjom?

At just 18, he has ascended to the role of host for the prestigious Drive Show.

Nyanjom steps into the shoes of Kerry Martin, who recently departed the station after a near-decade tenure.

His promotion was catalysed by his success in achieving the highest nighttime show ratings in the nation.

Remarkably, the Daystar University graduate has been part of the station's team for one year.

In an interview with TUKO.co.ke, the youthful radio host shared his enthusiasm for this new milestone.

He is determined to elevate the Drive Show to new heights.

"I am so excited about the opportunity. It's a tough challenge because Kerry has been there for a long time, but I have faith in myself. It's a big shoe to fill, but I'm going to do my best," Nyanjom said.

When asked about his formula for distinguishing himself in a highly competitive field, he attributed his success to prayer and diligent effort.

“My formula is simple: passionate prayer and unwavering dedication to hard work. These are the secrets of my success,” he explained.

Addressing the Homeboyz Radio audience, he expressed gratitude for their unwavering support and encouragement.

"I want to thank you for your continued support and love. I'm counting on your support on this new challenge," the radio host said.

Previously, Gituro showed her serious side after thinking her son messed up.

Nyanjom pranked his doting mother that he had broken their flatscreen television.

Gituro almost chased her son out after he said he could afford a brand-new television to replace the 'broken' one.
