Ghanaian Afrobeat singer and songwriter, Jackline Acheampong better known as Gyakie has revealed that she initially wanted to become an entrepreneur and not a musician.
As a result, she studied International Business at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where her music career began.
The “Forever” hitmaker recounted on The Day Show with Berla Mundi how her career began after she had met her producer, Sosa on the KNUST campus through a friend.
“So before I got into the university because that’s where everything started for me. Before I went to KNUST I just wanted to be an entrepreneur, I wanted to be getting money so I studied International Business in KNUST until I met my producer, Sosa on campus through a friend,” Gyakie revealed.
Gyakie adds that shortly after their initial meeting, Sosa sent her a beat, which ended up becoming her first single on streaming platforms. She became aware of her songwriting ability as soon as she began to listen to the beat.
“Never Like This,” a song she wrote, was made available on music streaming platforms for the first time.
The fast-rising musician has since released a series of hits including “Something” and his recent song “Rent Free” which is already making waves across social media platforms.
