Lynx Entertainment Ends Artiste Management

Richie Mensah has announced that Lynx Entertainment is stepping away from artiste management after about 20 years in the music industry.

He explained that the company will now focus on music distribution and electronics instead of managing artistes.

The venerated producer and entrepreneur shared the update in a video posted on his social media pages on May 17, 2026, which also marked his 40th birthday. He said the decision is part of a long-term personal plan he made years ago to retire from active music production at age 40.

“I promised myself that when I turned 40, I was going to retire from music. And I am honouring that promise because I value promises to myself. So what I did was I started to phase out the music management part of Lynx. So currently Lynx no longer manages any artistes. Lynx is officially out of the artiste management business.

I mean never say never. I cannot predict what the future holds, but currently as it stands Lynx does not manage any artiste. What we have done is we have converted the record label to a distribution company. And then the next thing that I will be focusing my full energy on is Lynx Electronics,” he noted.

Richie explained that his interest in electronics started when he was a child. He said he spent time studying gadgets and trying to understand how sound equipment works. This curiosity later led him into sound engineering and music production.

He added that the new direction of Lynx is meant to improve how people enjoy music. After years of producing hit songs for audiences across Africa, he now wants to focus on the listening experience itself.

“For 20 years I have been creating sound and music for people to enjoy and now I am focusing on creating a way they can enjoy that music how they can listen to that music,” he said.

As part of this shift, Lynx has already launched products such as Lynx Reverb headphones and is preparing to release more audio equipment, including Lynx Octave speaker systems.

Founded in 2006 by Richie Mensah, Lynx Entertainment began as a home studio and later grew into one of Ghana’s leading record labels.

Over the years, the label helped build the careers of several artistes, including Asem, OJ Blaq, Irene Logan, Eazzy, Zigi, MzVee, KiDi, Kuami Eugene, DopeNation, Adina, and DJ Vyrusky.

The company later introduced new artistes such as Maya Blu, Kasar, DSL, St. Lennon, and BoiJake.

Beyond music, Richie expanded the brand into other businesses under the Lynx Group. These include Lynx Electronics, Lynx Studio, and Tigon Creative Studios.

The company also moved into film production with projects like Sugar and Pawn. As part of this expansion, Lynx signed actors and creatives such as Adjetey Anang, Richmond Xavier Amoakoh, and Sika Osei.

Richie Mensah, who has also authored the book Yes! It’s Your Fault, now hosts a podcast titled Master Minds.
