It’s another big one for Ghanaian songstress, Gyakie, following the release of her EP “My Diary” which features Nigerian Afropop superstar, Davido.
According to 23-year-old, she is impressed by her own her delivery and feels that she has lived up to expectation as a global artist.
“I never saw myself to be this big if I was asked four or five years ago,” Gyakie told DJ Reuben in an interview on Luv FM’s Drivetime show in Kumasi.
“To be very honest I never had that confidence in myself, I didn’t know my voice was this unique. I had to get people to tell me,” she said.
Gyakie disclosed that there are times she breaks down, complains, and feels like she wants to give up her career, but the responses from her fans give her the strength and make her confidence to grow in her career.
“First of all, I have a soft side and there have been times when everything just feels too much for you as a person. Immediately you come into the camera and show yourself to the world, people see you as a machine and don’t see you as a human with emotions so they just say things and don’t imagine how the person is going to feel about it,” Gyakie said.
“One thing we don’t joke with is fasting and prayers to be very honest with you. Most of the songs that come out, we do fast and pray before we make it available on all streaming platforms for people to consume, and obviously, there’s a lot of groundwork that is done to push whatever song that is coming out,” she stated.
Gyakie is the daughter of famous Ghanaian singer, Nana Acheampong.
