After two decades of grooming and projecting some of Ghana’s biggest music stars, Richie Mensah says Lynx Entertainment is stepping away from artiste management to focus on music distribution and electronics.
The venerated producer and entrepreneur, in a video shared on his social media pages on his 40th birthday (May 17, 2026), disclosed that the decision forms part of a long-term personal goal he set years ago to retire from active music production at the age of 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 dates back to childhood when he spent time studying gadgets and trying to understand how sound equipment worked. According to him, that curiosity eventually pushed him into sound engineering and later music production.
The Lynx boss said the company’s new direction is aimed at improving the listening experience for music lovers after years of creating hit records for audiences across Africa.
“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 its expansion into electronics, Lynx has already introduced products including the Lynx Reverb headphones and is preparing to release more speaker systems such as the Lynx Octave. .
