As the only Ghanaian
female artist to perform on the Global
Citizen Festival stage
at the Black Star Square
last night, Gyakie did an incredible job representing the country and doing her part in being a contributing voice for global
change.
The fast-rising singer started her performance with the reggae song Waka Waka off her recently released My Diary EP. An unlikely song intro to her performance, Gyakie delivered an amazing live rendition of the song with the help of the Ghana Army Regimental Band while the Ghana flag and branded Gyakie flags were waved behind her: A statement of who she is and where she is from.
Fitting that she is referred to as Queen by people
in the industry
and her fans, Gyakie showed
up on stage,
resplendent in a bedazzled outfit
by Ellanore Official,
thrilling fans with Far Away
and her hit single, Forever the remix, before
ending with her current hit, Something. You could tell Gyakie’s band, backing vocalists
and instrumentalists were testament to the fact that she has come a long way since her very first performance
as an artist,
and the future
is promising on what she is capable
of in the coming years.
In a statement from the Songbird
on stage, Gyakie
revealed the source
of her consistency,
hard work and achievements were the young girls around
the world, who
look up to her.
She
said: “Before I do anything,
I try to picture two or three girls that look up to me. I have their faces etched in my mind as a reminder of my responsibility to show up in a way that inspires them and lets them know they can be anything
they want to be, no matter the odds against
them.”
The Global
Citizen Festival is the world’s
longest-running global campaign
calling for an end to extreme poverty.
Through the Festival,
the organization brings
together millions of people to amplify the message to #EndPovertyNow and this year, in celebrating
10 years of impacting change,
the event was split into two locations:
Accra and New York with artists like Sza, Usher,
Tems, Sarkodie, Stormzy
and Stonebwoy performing
while dignitaries from around the world including
His Excellency President Akuffo-Addo delivered
speeches calling for leaders and persons around
the world to take action
to #EndPovertyNow.
