Gyakie, born Jackline Acheampong, is the daughter of highlife legend Nana Acheampong. She entered the music scene in 2019 and rose to fame with her 2020 EP Seed, which included the hit “Forever.” The song went Platinum in South Africa and made her a household name. In 2022, she released My Diary, featuring Nigerian star Davido. She has continued to impress with singles like “December,” “Sankofa,” and “Unconditional.”
This year, Gyakie dropped her debut album After Midnight, a 17-track project about self-love, healing, and identity. The album features artists like 6LACK, Shatta Wale, and Omar Sterling. Alongside the album, she released a new single called “Breaking News.”
This Is Gyakie is more than a mix—it is a celebration of her journey and proof that she is on her way to becoming one of Africa’s most important voices.
