Since breaking into Afrobeats’ spotlight in 2021 with ‘Forever’, her duet with Omah Lay, Gyakie, born Jackline Acheampong, has become one of the music scene’s most vivacious voices. Later that year came ‘Follow You’ (featuring Chike and Fiokee). And, in 2022, she unveiled her six-track debut EP, ‘My Diary’, featuring Davido on ‘Flames’, cementing her place among the Afrobeats’ brightest newcomers.
With her soulful vocal signature and shimmering pop-soul fusions, the Ghanaian singer has racked up nearly 200 million song plays on Spotify alone. Her upcoming debut album, ‘After Midnight’, dwells on relatable themes like survival, family, love, and romance.
