Collaboration is key in making music – Gyakie

Ghanaian singer Gyakie has stated that collaboration is key in making music because it helps promote unity.

In an interview with Forbes Africa, the “Forever” hitmaker shared that working with artistes from different countries helps spread culture and grow fan bases.

According to her, collaboration is one of the most important tools in the creative process.

“Collaborations, it’s one thing that I always say is key when it comes to making music because in as much as you are merging cultures from different places, you are also bringing the unity together,” Gyakie shared.

She explained that whenever she works with artistes outside Ghana, it creates an opportunity for cultural exchange. Through such collaborations, both artistes get to learn about each other’s backgrounds, and traditions.

“You know, if I’m collaborating with an artiste that is outside of Ghana, they are going to know about my culture and I am also going to know about theirs,” she said.

Gyakie went on to say that collaborations help artistes reach new audiences and grow together. She described it as a way of “holding hands” to connect and build bigger markets.

“It’s always about holding hands. When we’re holding hands and we’re doing this collaboration, we are always able to measure our markets together and then grow our audiences bigger,” she stated.

Gyakie further advised fellow artistes to embrace the opportunity to work with others whenever possible. She believes it’s a step toward building a stronger music industry.

“So I’m always rooting for collaborations and it’s one thing that I always tell every artist, that whenever you get the chance to collaborate with anyone, you just have to do it,” she added.
