Ghanaian Afro-pop and Afro-fusion sensation Gyakie has earned a spot on the Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 Class of 2025, a prestigious recognition celebrating young leaders and innovators across the continent.

Known for her soulful voice, genre-blending artistry, and powerful storytelling, Gyakie has become a standout figure representing Africa's musical and cultural dynamism on the global stage.

Her inclusion in the Forbes list reflects not only her musical success but also her influence as a cultural ambassador. From cross-border collaborations to performances at major international stages, Gyakie continues to push boundaries in Afro-fusion, R&B, highlife, and hip-hop.

In response to the honor, she shared:

“This acknowledgment by Forbes Africa is a testament to the hard work and dedication I’ve poured into my craft. I hope it inspires other young Africans to pursue their passions relentlessly.”

Earlier this year, Gyakie was also a speaker at the 2025 Forbes Woman Africa Leading Women Summit, where she delved into her creative journey and evolution as an artist.

Looking ahead, fans eagerly await her debut album, “After Midnight,” slated for release in August 2025. The project is expected to reveal a deeply personal side of Gyakie, showcasing her emotional growth and musical range.

This recognition firmly establishes Gyakie as one of Africa’s brightest young stars, carrying the torch for a new generation of artists committed to excellence, authenticity, and impact.
