Ghanaian singer and afro fusion artist Gyakie was recently in the United States for the first time where, among other stops, she performed at the It’s About Time concert in New York headlined by compatriots Sarkodie and R2bees.
She's been out and about promoting her second EP, titled My Diary. Released in July, My Diary is a smooth and compact six-song collection builds on the promise hinted on Seed, her first body of work which was released in 2021.
My Diary is a more personal record, one that has the 23-year-old vocalist born Jackline Acheampong,ruminating on the ups and downs of romantic entanglements. The EP benefits from the confidence of a young woman who, having completed her university studies, is now for the first time able to focus squarely on her music career. It also helps that she signed an international record deal with Sony Music Entertainment /RCA Label Group UK and is able to benefit from the privileges in terms of production and distribution support.
We caught up with Gyakie who called in from Los Angeles and chatted about her latest EP, her future plans and the joy of working with women.
What are you hoping to communicate with MyDiary? The title suggests a more personal record.
This project is called My Diary because it is more personal and more intimate. Whatever you hear in the record is me inviting you into my world and my personal space. Read More...
