Gyakie, whose given name is Jackline Acheampong, is a burgeoning Ghanaian Afrobeat/Afro-fusion singer-songwriter who has been enchanting listeners with her soulful and melodic voice. Born on December 16, 1998, in Kumasi, Ghana, Gyakie comes from a musical lineage as the daughter of Nana Acheampong, a renowned Ghanaian highlife artist. She initially set her sights on a career in music while pursuing her university studies, and she debuted with her single "Love is Pretty" in 2019, which laid the foundation for her subsequent rise to fame.

Gyakie's music is a captivating blend of her Afrocentric rhythm and a modern twist on highlife — a testament to her innovative artistry and Ghana's rich musical heritage. Her EP "MY DIARY," which features emotive tracks like "FOR MY BABY" and "SOMETHING," further showcased her versatility and depth as an artist. Gyakie has become especially renowned for her hit single "Forever," which captivated audiences beyond the borders of Ghana and caught the attention of Nigerian artist Omah Lay, who collaborated with her on the remix. With songs such as "Sudwe" and "Rent Free," she continues to solidify her presence in the music industry as an emerging talent with a promising future. Generously sprinkled with pure soul, Gyakie's music invites listeners into an intimate world defined by love, heartbreak, and the pursuit of happiness.
