Henry Kweku Ghartey popularly known as Jay Ray Ghartey continues to style Gospel artiste Joe Mettle with beautiful and amazing outfits for all occasions.

He has styled popular Ghanaian man of God, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, Adjetey Annan, Okyeame Kwame, Nana Aba Anamoah and Chief Supt. of Police Kofi Sarpong.

His five years journey into the lime light began when the designer heard Joe Mettle ministering on Sunny FM. He fell in love with his music and decided to style him even though he had not even met him in person.

Mr Ghartey disclosed that he was at his work place when Joe Mettle came for an apparel to be designed for him and the feedback was great.

“Joe Mettle is a big brand and by the nature of his business, it will be good to be identified with a particular brand; that is what we are promoting ” he told The Spectator on Monday.

“Jay Ray Ghartey puts in a lot of effort and pays attention to every single detail to his work” Joe Mettle said.
