Renowned sound engineer Jeff Tennyson Quaye, known in entertainment circles as Jay Q, has dedicated an award he gained from the United States of America to the late hiplife musician Castro.
Ghanaians this week celebrated 10 years since the departure of the Fante singer, who drowned with female friend Janet Bandu during a jet ski ride in Ada on Sunday, July 6, 2014.
Jay Q, who over the years worked on various projects with “Under Fire” after being honored at this year’s edition of the annual Ghana Entertainment Awards USA held on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at the Kaufman Music Center in New York City, dedicated the award to Castro.
The award, which was held coincidentally with the day news started trickling in about the death of hiplife artiste, Theophilus Tagoe, saw Jay Q bagging home something special.
He said Castro contributed immensely to the success and development of his career, thus expressing the need for the lost musician to be celebrated.
Reflecting on his musical journey, which began with rap group Buk Bak several decades ago and eventually extended to embrace an extensive portfolio, Jay Q highlighted his partnerships with Castro on various projects.
As the CEO of Q-Lex Recording Studio and founder of Q-Lex Entertainment, Jay Q has produced albums and managed the careers of numerous musicians, including Akosua Agyapong, Buk Bak, VIP, Castro, Mzbel, Obrafour, Daddy Lumba, Nana Acheampong, Ofori Amponsah, Obuoba J. A. Adofo, Wulomei, and others.
