JR Beats, real name Felix Annoh-Quarshie, is a young Ghanaian music producer/Composer born, raised and based in Accra with an exceptional talent in music production. His love for the art started at a very young age when he'd drum on tables whilst his friends and family at times sang along to tunes. He then progressed to playing the school drum for his primary and Junior high School.

Music production wise, He started off working and experimenting with music along with his peers right after high school (Presec - Legon) because he had a keen interest in understanding how music was put together. His earliest experience of making music with a team was when he started a band as an artist/Producer with group named "Ghetto Gees". Ghetto Gees was a hard core rap group, with members including Nasty, Tek 9 , Uno Rankee, Kwan Mc and MAK who made beats with Fruity Loops (FL), downloaded and shared by one of the group founders Pk. (2006-2007). This piece of software was everything to the team and it's not surprising JR uses it up till this day. 

JR's relentless effort to pursue this art of making beats, saw him make moves throughout his time in the university (University of Cape-Coast) where he solidified his name as one of the most popular beat makers/Artist on Campus. He formed a band, Billion Records which consisted of Jay Pickles, Mr Asante, Snoop and CJay, who out of their own way sacrificed time to do studio recordings and representing at Campus events. (2007-2011)

His later years pursuing music after the university, was when he became actively involved in developing himself as a music producer. Living in East –Legon, a suburb of accra, opened up an opportunity to meet other beat makers , producers and artists with similar career interests. Producers such as Brainy Beatz and Mike Millz were young producers also making waves in the community who had an impact on JR’s production since everyone was willing to share ideas, giving the opportunity to learn from each other.

Fast forward to now and the future, JR Beats has built himself to become one of the most skillful and talented new producers in Ghana, making beats that span across different genres including Afrobeats, hiphop, dancehall and a lot of fusion records. He has had the opportunity to work with top Ghanaian, Nigerian and South African music makers. Top artists in Ghana that JR Beats has worked with include Samini, Mz Vee, VVIP, Jupitar, Kwaw Kese, Trigmatic, Adina, Irene Logan and a lot more
He released a dancehall riddim “Nuff Love Riddim” (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/nuff-love-riddim/id1151762802) hosted by Yfm’s drive time presenter, Joel Orleans, which gave him the opportunity to work with Nigerian Superstar Jesse Jagz and a lot more mainstream musicians.

JR Beats has worked on a project with American grammy nominated producer Coptic. This association with Coptic is a futuristic one which will help JR build his brand and breakthrough the American music industry.
Late 2016, has seen JR also hit the studios to work on huge projects with south African superstar Khuli Chana, which is yet to be released.
