Multimedia storyteller Femi Bakes begins a new journey on MAX Breakfast, bringing his creative voice and audience-first approach to morning radio.
Every great radio show needs more than a microphone and a playlist. Instead, it needs personalities who can connect with listeners, spark meaningful conversations, and transform ordinary moments into memorable experiences.
That is precisely why many MAX FM listeners are excited about the arrival of Oluwafemi Olugbade, widely known as Femi Bakes and affectionately called The Sound Baker. As a multimedia storyteller, brand strategist, and creative entrepreneur, he has built a reputation for crafting compelling narratives that resonate with audiences. Now, he is bringing that expertise to MAX Breakfast, where he will join Honey Ojukwu, popularly known as “The Radio Queen,” as co-host.
Consequently, his arrival marks an exciting new chapter for the popular morning show following the departure of Westy Baba. At the same time, it introduces listeners to a fresh voice with a unique perspective on storytelling, media, and audience engagement.
Long before joining MAX Breakfast, Femi Bakes built his career around one simple but powerful belief: stories have the ability to connect people.
Whether through voice, sound, branding, or creative strategy, he has consistently focused on helping individuals and organizations communicate their messages effectively.
