Rahman, a native of Ghana, attended Adisadel College and the University of Ghana for his undergraduate studies. He then continued his study at the prestigious University of Westminster in London, where he graduated with a Master's in International and Multimedia Journalism. 

Rahman started working as a student journalist with Global Media Alliance, which was the parent company of Happy FM and ETV, among other stations. Nevertheless, he wasn't heard on Citi FM for very long, even though he was still a Legon student.

Along with other writing positions, he was one of the editors of Ghanasoccernet, the country's most popular football website, demonstrating early on his aptitude for reporting. Six months into his studies, Rahman's first work was as an African reporter for the Daily Mirror, Britain's second-most-read daily at the time, after he moved to London. 

He stayed there for two years before being asked by NationalWorld, which owns The Scotsman, among other newspapers, to help establish a website covering London—one of the finest cities in the world.

Rahman saw this as a new challenge, but he adapted quickly and helped develop what is now one of the second-largest websites for Londoners focused on the city. Alongside Guardian Journalist Ed Aarons, he co-hosts the weekly Made Africa podcast, which offers a 360-degree perspective on African Premier League players. Rahman has consequently emerged as one of the most well-known voices among the numerous reporters who follow Chelsea on a regular basis.

He has a wealth of expertise covering significant international media events, like the World Cup and the AFCON. Rahman's story, who started his career in Ghana, is just another illustration of how far someone can travel if they have the drive to succeed and overcome obstacles.
