Ajingo, Jay Q's Co-Inspirer

Jay Q, fabled Ga sound engineer/producer has seen virtually everything there is to see in the Ghanaian music scene, the highs, the lows, the wins, the losses.

Given his immense track record, producing hits from artists such as VIP to Buk Bak, fans have never thought of the main team Jay Q works with.

Well there is someone who has been very instrumental in his reign and success all this while.

He goes by the name Agyingo better known as Emmanuel Nana Agyeman.

He's the dude behind great songs such as King David's "Tsi Obenke Mi", Bak Tye's, "Yen Tem", Triple M's "Black Queens" and other artistes like Tic Tac, A Pluz, Kay Gee (US), Sexy B Clay (US), Daniel (Germany) Tony Harmony (Nigeria), Bola (Nigeria), Ofori Amponsah, Kofi Nti, K.K. Fosu, 4x4, Buk Bak, 3%, Los Kay, Castro, V.I.P, ABCD, Obrafour, Nkasei, Ofutu4, Nate and more.

A long time faithful assistant to Jay Q, Agyingo also worked in Slim Busterr's studio before migrating to the Q Lex Entertainment family.With his slight, smallish body (the most noticeable characteristic of Agyingo when he is seen), most fans of Jay Q are probably unaware of the fact that Agyingo is the backbone of Jay Q.

Over the past five years, Agyingo has been instrumental in Jay Q's hit songs which has made Ghanaian music (jama songs or beats) earn a good spot on the world music map.

Yes, life will be good for Agyingo as his latest projects are all coming from Ghanaian artistes from UK, USA and Canada.

He?s a successful beat player, but he?s not yet a star and has been with Jay Q for five years on the professional level.

Funny enough, Jay Q and Agyingo were all instrumentalists at the Resurrection Power & Living Bread International, where Jay Q played the keyboard whiles Agyingo played the drums

He?s come a long way since then. As you know, on the heels of ?Yen Tem? and more, he was able to mark a mark which made Jay Q get more bookings from artistes.

King Luu of Luu Visions, a renowned video director describes Jay Q and Agyingo's beats as blood brothers.

Over the next few months, expect to hear his melodic and signature, 'Agyingo Agyingo', a less-identifiable sound on forthcoming albums from top Ghanaians around the world with the help of Jay Q.
