Fantacy Entertainment Group (FEG) announced today that it has signed a global partnership contract with award-winning, producer and artist Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale.
In addition, FEG has also entered into a deal with the “General” Micheal Ayitey Okine popularly known as Jupitar.
FEG will handle all distribution and label services for artists signed and will also produce eagerly awaited upcoming albums for both artists.
“Shatta Wale’s influence on the current course of Ghanaian music period cannot be overstated,” said Leslie Quaynor, Fantasy Entertainment Chairman & CEO. “For the past five years, his visionary work as a songwriter, producer, and musician has reverberated across genres and the music industry. From ground-breaking hooks, to an uncanny hitmaking instinct, to shaping the sound of countless artists, he is building a phenomenal musical legacy.
Shatta has never stopped moving forward, so I am thrilled to welcome him into the Fantasy family as he begins a dynamic new chapter of his extraordinary career to take his music and brand global. And I’m doubly thrilled that we are adding Jupitar to the Fantasy group as Shatta Wale’s label partner.”
“My relationship with Fantasy and Leslie formerly started over 6 years ago, when he gave me the opportunity to grace the stage during the record breaking Movado show at the stadium.’ He worked with me to bring my friend Alkaline to Ghana last year for another record breaking show. He is for real and more about action that talking.
He has done a lot for Ghana music that people will never know but I am pleased to move with him to the next level to conquer the world and move Ghana music global.
Jupitar’s signing with Fantasy represents a sort of homecoming for the new Dancehall Phenom. He started his music career as new artist over 6 years ago, by packing Club Cinderella’s located in Cantonments which was owned and run by Fantasy Entertainment at that time.
"I'm excited and honoured to join Fantasy Entertainment. It has always been my aspiration to work with a company which puts artist values at the core of its work. I hope to be producing music which will inspire my audience to build a better world for all" said Jupitar.
