She said her father had a key role to play in her music as she drew most of her inspiration from him.

“Growing up I learnt a lot from my father. My dad had a critical role in my music career as we used to go to studios together to record so I learnt a lot from him,” Gyakie added.

She stated that as a final year student she had to be glued to her books but she had to travel, conduct interviews, promote her music and do other stuffs which makes it hectic.

Gyakie promised to do more to project Ghana’s music to the world and to inspire other young talents especially girls who wanted to be in the industry.
