Radio and Club DJ Lomwe hails from Blantyre in Malawi. The mafia movie fan (Scarface, The Godfather) says his favourite place in his country is Lake Malawi, because "it's the best getaway from everyday life – it's paradise at home".
Lomwe entered Big Brother Amplified to win USD 200,000 and to "expose my talent on the biggest platform on the continent". He says that viewers should watch him "because show business is my nature".
"I have charisma and a great sense of humour, I like to have a lot of fun with my life – plus I am quite handsome," he says. Should he win, he will open his own media business (a radio station) and visit his little brother in the UK.
His role model is BBC Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles because he inspired Lomwe to pursue a career where all he can do is be himself.
His proudest achievement is his radio career: "a lot of people thought I wouldn't get far without a normal office job, but I'm proving them wrong daily".
The best advice he ever received is "first you get the money, then you get the power – then you get the money" courtesy of Tony Montana in the movie Scarface.
He dislikes people who gossip, hypocrites and people who can't take a joke.
