Gyakie debuted on the music scene in 2019. Erstwhile, she had only been known as the daughter of Ghanaian high life music legend, Nana Acheampong who was one-half of the famous Lumba Brothers.
Having borne witness to the building of a successful legacy during her formative years, she’s now put all that training into practice to become a certified superstar today.
