Career
Steady Bongo hosted a program called "Variety Time" at the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Service.
During the years of the war (1991 - 2002), Steady produced songs to promote peace and reconciliation. He has teamed up with NGOs and USAID for awareness campaigns regarding HIV/AIDS.
Steady Bongo and the Culture Heroes exhibited musical talent in Sierra Leone and also in Guinea (1992 and 1997), London (1998), the US (New Jersey, New York, Washington D.C., Ohio, and Wisconsin) (2000), and Banjul, The Gambia (2001).
The group performed for the Sierra Leone National Government as well as performed for several refugee and displaced benefits. In collaboration with the NGOs Talking Drum Studio/Search for Common Ground and World Vision, the group embarked on a nation wide sensitization and confidence building tour in rebel-held towns in 2001. Giving live concerts, this peace tour visited 10 towns over the course of one month as part of a strategy to generate buy-in to facilitate speedy disarmament, and contributed greatly in bringing peace to Sierra Leone.
