Mugeez is known as one half of the popular Ghanaian hip-hop group R2Bees, also the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Extrial Music has currently signed a new artiste, Tecknikal, onto his Extrial Music label.

The new artiste who is a Ghanaian based in Columbus, Ohio born, Earl Owusu Ansah, has been doing music professionally since 2016 and has released songs such as; the 'Styla season’ Album, the ‘guapanese’ mixtape, an EP dubbed ‘Dedication’ and some good amount of singles, “which are all available on most streaming platforms under my stage name Tecknikal. It’s safe to say I have over 30 songs out online. I have worked with numerous producers but noticeably Oge Beats and DCQ beats.”

According to the management of the record label, Extrial Music is top-notch audio and video production hub geared at grooming artistes, and making them ready for the afro beats markets, “We also contribute massively in promoting their music on digital music shops and through traditional media. Our artistes are given opportunities to have both international and local features to increase their fan base.

“Tecknikal is currently the only artist on the label after he was signed up in December 2019. He was discovered for his talent and prowess on beats.”

Speaking to Tecknikal, he said, Mugeez and the R2BEES as a family has been his inspiration in His music journey and he feels blessed to be part of the family now, “I’ve known Mugeez personally for about 2 years prior to signing with him and this gave me the opportunity to learn about his plans for me as his artist, so I thought to myself this was an offer I couldn’t refuse. My biggest concern about getting signed to a label was never the money involved but, how the label could help me progress. And I felt confident that, Extrial Music is the right place to be.

“It feels more like my new family than a label and in terms of contributions to my music, they’ve been heavy on promoting me and making sure my music is heard across Ghana and beyond. They also got me in the studio with a lot of dope artists; so be sure to stay tuned for what we got coming.”

Tecknikal under Extrial Music has released his first song dubbed ‘Fantasy’ which was directed by Mr. Victorious and is available on all online music streaming site.
