One of the tracks to gain recognition in the Nigerian music industry was the smash song, ‘Forever’, from her 2020 ‘Seed’ EP.

Her breakthrough single, which peaked at number one on the charts in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria, was her claim to fame.

In March 2021, Gyakie and Nigerian artiste, Omah Lay, collaborated to release a remix of ‘Forever’.

She has won multiple awards, including African Artiste of the Year at the Sound City MVCP Awards 2020, and Best Female MVCP Viewer’s Choice Awards 2021.
