Professional music producer and sound engineer Manasseh T. Nartey, widely known as Forqzy Beatz, has halted his bid to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Recording Marathon with multiple artists.
Commencing on March 21, 2024, at Tema Community 1, Forqzy Beatz embarked on the ‘Rec-A-Thon’ with the goal of recording over 200 artists within 100 hours.
Despite falling short of the 100-hour target, Forqzy Beatz persevered for 75 hours before deciding to pause due to exhaustion.
The attempt faced initial hurdles, including disruptions caused by rain. However, after swift reorganization, the endeavor resumed on the evening of March 22, 2024.
Forqzy Beatz’s determination, coupled with support from his team and artists like Keche Global, resulted in recording 108 artists, surpassing the previous record of 40 hours and 19 minutes held by Nigerian actor and entrepreneur Hawwal Ogungbadero.
Regrettably, the attempt was called off on March 26 after 75 hours, attributed to exhaustion by Forqzy Beatz’s team.
“The physical and mental toll of the marathon had taken its toll, leading to the unanimous agreement to conclude the attempt at the 75th-hour mark,”
