Gyakie Reveals Preference for Recording in Dim Lighting

Ghanaian R&B and afro-fusion artist, Jackline Acheampong, professionally known as Gyakie, has offered insight into her creative approach, disclosing a fondness for working in dimly lit environments and developing storylines drawn from personal encounters.

During an interview with Helen Appiah-Ampofo on 3FM Sunrise Morning Show on April 12, she said “I like recording in the dark.”

“When I’m working with my favorite producers, it’s always a plus for me. I listen to the beats and try to imagine what storyline would work with them,” she asserted.

The “Rent Free” hitmaker explained that she draws inspiration from her own life experiences when crafting songs.

“If I’m in a particular situation at the moment of recording, it makes it easier because I’m able to actually talk about what I’m experiencing,” she said.

“But if I’m not, sometimes I create a story in my mind and then I write that story into the song.”
