I wish I Answered Some Questions Differently In My Early Days Interviews – Gyakie
Gyakie: I wish I answered some questions differently in my early days interviews.
Ghanaian Afro-fusion singer Gyakie has opened up about her early career missteps, expressing regret over how she handled certain interview questions. Reflecting on her younger self, she admitted that some of her responses were immature and wished she had approached them with more thought.
In a candid conversation with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, Gyakie acknowledged the influence of youth on her past behavior. “There were certain things I said in some interviews when I was 19-20 years old, when I first entered the industry, that I wish I had answered differently. At that age, that was how my brain was working, and I allowed myself to be who I was at that time,” she shared.
The Forever hitmaker also discussed the emotional toll of online criticism, particularly after the success of her breakout single. She revealed how negative comments affected her creative process. “After ‘Forever’ dropped, I literally opened up and let the negative comments get to me.
I used to read every single comment and even checked the person’s page to understand why they said such things. During that ‘Forever’ period, I was struggling in the studio, looking for the next song to drop that would match its success,” she explained.
Gyakie has since adopted a more resilient mindset, prioritizing self-motivation over external validation. She now avoids engaging with negativity and focuses solely on her craft. “Now, I post my music without reading comments or opening myself up to negativity.
I had to speak to myself and just focus on making the music. If a song is meant to blow up, it will. As long as it’s good music, just drop it,” she added. Her growth serves as a reminder of the challenges young artists face in balancing public scrutiny with personal development.
