Lynx Entertainment is a Ghanaian-based record label founded in 2006 by award-winning producer, singer-songwriter Richie Mensah.
The record label has been responsible for successfully launching the solo careers of Ghanaian musicians Richie, ASEM, Irene Logan, OJ Blaq, Eazzy, Zigi,Jayla and MzVee. Lynx Entertainment has also produced hit singles for several Ghanaian artistes including Tinny, Okyeame Kwame, VIP, Praye, Bradez, Irene and Jane, Obour, Becca, Reggie Rockstone, Efya, Trigmatic, Sonni Balli, EL, Jael Wiafe, Ayigbe Edem and Iwan.
In 2010, the artistes on the Lynx Entertainment record label Richie, ASEM, OJ Blaq, Eazzy and Zigi collaborated on Africa’s Moment, which was featured on Hello Afrika, Sony Music’s release in conjunction with the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The song was also featured in the Vodafone advert which staged the first ever flashmob in West Africa.
Lynx Entertainment released ‘Back 2 Zero’ in July 2011. The album featured all the artistes on the record label as well as several renowned Ghanaian musicians such as Gyedu Blay-Ambolley, Tinny, V.I.P (group), Okyeame Kwame, Efya, Trigmatic, Sonniballi, EL, Jael Wiafe, Ayigbe Edem and Iwan. The album features a remake of the Ghanaian folk song 'Yen Ara Asase Ni' which was originally composed by Ephraim Amu. The remake features 11 of Ghana's top musicians and has been adopted as a peace song ahead of the 2012 general elections in Ghana.
The award-winning record label introduced a new girl band D3 to the Ghanaian music scene in the summer of 2012. The band, made up of 3 members aged 16, 19 and 20, released hit singles such as 'Good Girls Gone Bad' and 'Gyani Gyani'. They split at the end of 2013 due to educational commitments of the youngest member of the group.
MzVee, the lead singer of the group, has since launched a solo career under the management of Lynx Entertainment and is already fast becoming a household name in Ghana. She won the 'Unsung Artiste Award' at the 2014 Ghana Music Award in May 2014 and released her debut solo album in November 2014. This was followed in November 2015 by her sophomore album titled 'Verfied' which was released to rave reviews.
