On my recent trip to Kumasi, I caught up with Gyakie. Of course, there is no denying that the young lady is doing well for herself.

Back in the studio where she recorded her widely acclaimed Seed EP, she opened up on why likes to record with the lights off.

“It is a spiritual moment for me whenever I have to record music. Whenever the place is dark, I feel I am in the studio alone. Even without the producer, I am able to imagine whatever I want to write in terms of the lyrics, especially when it's a love song,” she told Becky on E Vibes.
