Gyakie has earned a nomination in Nigeria’s major music awards show of the year, the Headies Awards.
The nomination mentions Gyakie in the Best West African Artiste of the Year award category.
The Academy states the category is for artists of West African descent with the most outstanding achievements and impact across Africa in the year under review.
The success of her viral hit song, ‘Forever’, taken off her debut project, the ‘Seed’ EP became one of the first Ghanaian songs (in a long while) to break into Nigerian music charts without a Naija feature.
The smart move by her team, Flip The Music to feature Nigerian artiste Omah Lay, pushed the song even higher.
‘Need Me’ and her steady run of features with big-name acts like Blaqjerzee, Tanzanian artist Jux, South Africa’s Major League DJz and more have seen Gyakie’s songs seeping into charts all over West Africa, making debuts in all parts of Africa.
Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius, Grenada, and Tanzania are just a few African countries that have seen the songbird’s music charting, months after their release.
The Headies Awards is Nigeria’s biggest and most anticipated music awards show. The awards show is scheduled to be held on Sunday 4th September 2022 at the COBB Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, USA.
