While working as a mix engineer and music producer, Diriki found the world of voiceover by writing and contributing rap performances to promo spots at the request of a handful of producers. This led to his first agency signing and an eventual career as a voiceover artist. Diriki now counts AT&T, Toyota, Fox Sports, CW Network, Paramount Plus, Showtime Networks and Sundance TV among his long list of clients.
