Born in Togo, Kodjo Somana immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was seven years old. Although his parents had moved in search of new opportunities, they still struggled in the years that followed. There were many challenges that he had to overcome, and one experience that stuck with him was a church visit when he was nine: the pastor prayed for him, encouraging him to continue to follow his heart and trust in God.

At a young age, Kodjo discovered a passion for storytelling, spending hours upon hours practicing his skills painting and drawing. By the time he was in middle school, he had gone "professional," taking artwork commissions and stretching himself creatively. He was growing every day, pushing his ability to express himself – and discovering yet another passion, this one for entrepreneurship. It was a few years later that he resolved to become a filmmaker.

Attending Columbus College of Arts & Design, Kodjo studied Filmmaking and earned his BFA in 2016. He then went on to launch his videography business, putting together a high-energy, positive team. As a filmmaker, videographer, and business owner, he has made it his mission to go above and beyond all his clients' expectations, putting service at the center of everything that he does. Trusting in God all those years ago, Kodjo could not have known where his life was headed. Because of his faith, though, he knew that it would all work out in the end. He was always confident that by pursuing his dreams, he could impact others, putting smiles on their faces. It had been a long journey from West Africa to the present, but it was all for the best – all the challenges, all the struggles, everything.
