Who is Ozii Obiyo?

Ozii Obiyo is a Nigerian-American entrepreneur from Arlington, Texas. Originally as a promise to his brother Chuki Obiyo when they were both students at the University of Texas at Austin, he started the first online African Radio show in Austin, Texas on KVRX called African Extravaganza. Started in 2005, the show showcased a variety of African artists representing different genres and cultures, from Fela Kuti and his Afrobeat to Angelique Kidjo and her Afropop. The fusion of cultures on his show was an experience that Ozii coined as "Afro-fantastic". The radio show led to AfroFantasticTV, a TV show that interviewed students and small business owners on the streets of Austin about African culture through humor. The TV show, broadcast on K09VR, featured Texas business owners discussing how different cultural aspects of Sub-Saharan Africa connected to the Keep Austin Weird business campaign; in one episode, the show featured Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. As of March 2010, Ozii, through Mediasify, LLC is producing web TV shows, videos, and press releases for business owners.
