Swanky prides himself on living a very lowkey life, not overly trying to be in the public eye for the wrong reasons. He tries his best to stay honest and true to who he is.
JKA started his professional acting career in 2014, after graduation, he sought to focus on his talent squarely and traveled more frequently to Lagos which has been the hub of opportunities for newbies in the industry.

JKA is a typical definition of a go-getter, our Nollywood sweetheart, and a true visionary in the movie industry.
