The Multi-Talented Ghanaian Entertainer Redefining Satire and Comedy
Kwaku Sintim-Misa, widely known as KSM was born on December 5, 1956, in Kumasi, Ghana.
KSM's educational journey began at the UST Primary School before attending Presby Boys Secondary School (PRESEC) in Legon. After completing his first year, he continued his secondary education at Prempeh College in Kumasi. He then pursued his passion for film by enrolling as one of the pioneer students at the National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI).
However, KSM's thirst for knowledge and exploration led him to the United States, where he attended Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, for his undergraduate degree in Theatre Arts. Subsequently, he further honed his skills by pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in film production at New York University.
KSM's career is a testament to his creative prowess and dedication to the arts. He has worked with various film companies, leaving his mark on the industry.

As the host of "The KSM Show," KSM has become a household name in Ghana. His talent lies in his ability to get audiences to laugh at themselves, often using satire as a medium. One prominent figure who has been a frequent subject of KSM's humor is former President Jerry Rawlings. Despite the jabs, Rawlings has remained a dedicated attendee of KSM's shows, contributing to the lively atmosphere. KSM's latest production, "Afia Siriboe," highlights his versatility, as he assumes the role of a four-time divorcee with a flair for provocative dressing.
Apart from his stage performances, KSM has extended his influence to the radio waves. He previously hosted a talk show on VIBE FM and Choice FM. "That's My Opinion," aired every Tuesday from 10 am to midday, showcases KSM's insightful views, while "Connection With God" on Sundays from 7 to 8 am provides a platform for spiritual discussions.
