Music powerhouse, Lynx Entertainment has taken a giant leap into the digital
distribution space after 18 years of dominating and empowering the music industry in
Ghana and Africa.
The indefatigable Ghanaian record label, under Lynx Group Limited, has nurtured
some of the continent’s biggest music stars and churned out many global hits till date.
As the company nears two decades of operations, it has announced a significant
addition to its roster; offering direct music distribution worldwide for labels and
artistes.
Lynx Entertainment has partnered with technology giant, Vydia, to provide digital
infrastructure to enable first-hand distribution of music to global Digital Service
Providers (DSP) without any resort to third parties.
According to the CEO of Lynx Group; Richie Mensah, the bold move is to ensure that
African artistes and labels are adequately represented in the fast-growing digital
distribution scene.
He explained that as the continent embraces the limitless possibilities of digital
distribution, there is the need to safeguard the interest of artistes and labels in Africa,
thus, maximizing gains for stakeholders.
Richie Mensah stated that for the first time, African creatives will need no third-party
distributors or agents as they can get their music listed on platforms like Spotify, Apple
Music, Amazon Music, Tidal and others in the comfort of their homes.

while ensuring content protection, rights management, advanced payments, and data
tracking.
The premium technology works to empower creators to distribute, protect, monetize
and store their content through one centralized and easy to use platform that has a
transparent royalty payout process.
