At Nigeria’s Headies Awards, Ghanaian singer Gyakie took home the award for Best West African Artiste.
The “Forever” singer won her category at the Awards ceremony held Friday night at the COBB Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia, ahead of KiDi (Ghana), Amaarae (Ghana), Angelique Kidjo (Benin), Aya Nakamura (Mali), and Nelson Freitas (Cape Verde). Since the release of her debut album, SEED EP, Gyakie has been on a winning streak, and her impact on the African music landscape is both subtle and impressive.
For her breakout hit “Forever,” which was sold over 40 000 times in the South African market, the singer was recently awarded a double Platinum Certification Plaque by The Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA).
Her most recent project is the My Diary EP, which features the songs “Something” and “Flames,” both of which feature Davido, and is currently making appearances on charts throughout Africa.
