To many who do not know the father of Gyakie, the “Foveevr” hitmaker, She is ace musician Nana Acheampong’s daughter.
Gyakie is the daughter of Nana Acheampong, a famous Highlife musician, and therefore, she grew up in a musical home. When Gyakie started recording and releasing songs, she did not mention her dad’s name.
She did not want to mention her link with the famous Nana Acheampong because she wanted Ghanaians to see her as an artist first. However, when the fans knew that the renowned Highlife artist is her father, they could connect dots on the origin of her passion for music.
Gyakie’s parents exposed her to music, especially the Ghanaian Highlife music. For example, the father — half of the Lumba Brothers — was at the prime of her career when she was a small girl. On her Instagram page, she often shares old pictures of her dad in his prime years. In a series of interviews, Gyakie has showcased her deep understanding of music, especially Ghanaian music.
