Gyakie
Another chance to hear Edu talking to Gyakie, one of Ghana's best-loved female artists, about her song Days Pass By.
Gyakie is one of Ghana’s best loved female artists, and she has one of the most seductive, silky voices in Afrobeats. Her biggest hit, Forever, which was remixed as a duet with Nigeria’s Omah Lay, has now accumulated over a 150 million combined streams. The song gave Gyakie international recognition as it climbed charts around the world, and her image adorned billboards in New York’s iconic Time Square.
Since then, Gyakie has been busy winning awards and collaborating with everyone from Davido to US DJ Diplo. She won Best West African Artiste of the Year at the Headies in 2022, and in 2023 Best West African Female Artist at the AFRIMMAs.
Gyakie tells Edu about her new song Days Pass By, and about the impact her music has had upon her life. She came to fame when still a student and confides that the pressure often reduced her to tears.
