Joe Mettle unveils ultra-modern Reverb Studio
Award-winning gospel musician, Joseph Oscar Mettle, known in showbiz circles as Joe Mettle, has unveiled a state-of-the-art Reverb Studios, a multimedia and creative production center located in the heart of Accra, Ghana.
The newly built three-storey facility is designed to meet world-class standards in audio-visual production, creative arts, and live event recording.
The main studio comfortably accommodates 150 to 200 guests, making it ideal for live audience recordings, talk shows, and musical performances.
The edifice is complemented by three professional audio recording suites and a fully equipped video post-production studio capable of both live and post-live video editing.
Speaking at the soft launch on Saturday, October 4, Joe Mettle said every detail of Reverb Studios has been carefully curated to provide clients with an exceptional creative experience.
He revealed that the facility features furnished guest rooms, modern restrooms, and fully serviced kitchens on each floor with contracted chefs for client convenience, creating an environment that blends professionalism with comfort.
Touching on their creative creed, he said “Experience Beyond Production” captures the essence of Reverb Studios’ mission: to deliver not only top-tier technical output but also a uniquely immersive, customer-centered creative journey for artists, content creators, corporate brands, and event organisers in Ghana and across Africa.
He said the purpose of the soft launch was to mark the initial unveiling of Reverb Studios to selected media representatives, partners, creative industry stakeholders, and potential collaborators.
He added that it offered guests a first-hand tour of the facility’s cutting-edge capabilities and an introduction to the brand’s long-term vision of becoming West Africa’s premier destination for multimedia excellence.

The Kumasi metropolis was thrown into a state of frenzy last Saturday as thousands of fans flocked the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Concert that climaxed the 2025 Momo Fest.
Despite a heavy rainfall, the event, powered by MTN, drew unprecedented crowds for the month-long initiative to promote financial inclusion, the use of mobile money, and raise awareness on MoMo fraud prevention.
The musical event was preceded by educational roadshows, cashless market fairs, and community engagement activities across the country.
Vendors at the MoMo Cashless Market and Fair, set up within the stadium premises, offered goods and services payable exclusively through mobile money, giving patrons a live demonstration of MoMo’s utility.
The concert, headlined by multiple award-winning rapper Sarkodie, featured performances from several high-profile Ghanaian artistes including Medikal, Kofi Kinaata, Donzy, Kweku Smoke, and Efya.
But the appearance of Shatta Wale, who joined Sarkodie on stage, took the excitement a notch higher as it marked a rare public collaboration between the two top acts.
The event would go into the history books as one of the largest music gatherings in Kumasi and a fitting conclusion to a festival that sought to blend innovation with entertainment.
Funeral rites for the late Ghanaian music icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosu, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba, will be held on December 6 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Later in the evening of December 6, there will be a DL cocktail party at the Rattray Park, which will feature top musicians in the country.
Announcing the funeral arrangements on behalf of the family, former Manhyia North Member of Parliament, Collins Owusu Amankwa, said the decision was reached after consultations with Manhyia, government, and other key stakeholders.
The family cautioned the public to desist from disrespecting the legend on social media by spreading falsehood about his marital status.
Daddy Lumba, 60, passed away on July 26, 2025, at the Bank Hospital in Accra after a short illness.
Following his death, a book of condolence was opened at his East Legon residence for loved ones, friends, colleagues, and fans to pay tribute to his iconic memory.
Subsequently, the government, in collaboration with the Creative Arts Agency, organised a candlelight vigil in his memory at Independence Square in Accra on August 2.
This was later followed by a One Week Observation at the same venue on August 30, which was attended by people from all walks of life.
Born on September 29, 1964, in Nsuta in the Ashanti Region, Daddy Lumba started his music career at a young age. He later joined the Lumba Brothers alongside Nana Acheampong in Germany before launching a solo career.
With about 32 albums and over 200 songs to his credit, Daddy Lumba thrilled the world with classic hits such as “Aben Wo Ha,” “Yentie Obiaa,” “Playboy,” “Theresa,” “Sika Asem,” “Mensei Da,” “Makra Mo,” and many others.
