Gyakie's official music video for Your Body (Crazy) had 1,211,700 views on YouTube on 27 October 2026, eleven days after it went up on 16 October.

Her previous music video, fire on the mountain, was published on 10 October 2025. It had 1,433,887 views on the same day. That works out to about 3,750 views a day over its first year, against about 110,000 a day for the new video so far, close to 30 times faster.

From Kumasi

Gyakie released her debut EP, Seed, in August 2020 while she was a student at KNUST in Kumasi. One of its five songs, Forever, travelled far beyond campus. The remix with Nigerian singer Omah Lay came out on 20 March 2021, went to number one on Nigeria's TurnTable chart and was certified Platinum in Nigeria and in South Africa.

She is the daughter of highlife musician Nana Acheampong.

Still independent

Your Body (Crazy) is released through her own label, FLIP THE MUSIC, under a new distribution deal with Warner Music Africa, according to MyJoyOnline. The song is produced by AfroLektra, who also produced her single Treasure, and it leads into her third EP, The Dawn. No release date for the EP has been announced.

The QMS take · Opinion

Five years after a KNUST student put Forever on a five-song EP, Gyakie is still independent and still growing. This is only the first song before The Dawn. If this is the morning, we want to see the afternoon.
