Gyakie is my female version – Bisa Kdei praises singer’s musical style

Ghanaian highlife musician Bisa Kdei has described singer Gyakie as his female musical equivalent, citing similarities in their vocal delivery and musical style.

Speaking in an interview, the Mansa hitmaker praised Gyakie’s talent, particularly her songwriting ability and the distinctive qualities of her voice.

He said he often likens the young singer to himself because of the similarities he hears in their music, including their vocal resonance and the use of certain vocal expressions.

“She’s an amazing writer. She’s fantastic. You know, she’s the female version of Bisa Kdei,” he said.

Bisa Kdei further explained that Gyakie’s style reminds him of his own, pointing to the way they use vocal expressions in their songs.

“She has the same resonance as me. You know, the way I sing, the hisses, she has the same thing,” he added.

The musician was, however, quick to clarify that he had not mentored Gyakie, despite recognising the similarities between their musical approaches.

Beyond his comments about Gyakie, the interview also offered a glimpse into Bisa Kdei’s work behind the scenes as a music producer and songwriter, an aspect of his career he says is not always recognised by the public.

He disclosed that he has produced several songs, including Mansa, which he initially produced before handing it over to Kewa for further additions and mastering.

Other production credits he mentioned included Chingam, Pimpina, Sapepepe and One of Your Own. He also clarified that while he did not produce Odoka Pinta, he worked on mixing the song.

Asked why his production work was not as widely known as his career as a performer, Bisa Kdei suggested that people do not often ask about that side of his work unless
