I had to get people to tell me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The responses she got from her fans made her realize she needed to be confident in herself and that has enhanced her career growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times she cries, complains, feels tired and even wants to stop the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, I have a soft side and there have been times when everything just feels too much for you as a person. Immediately you come into the camera and show yourself to the world, people see you as a machine and don\u2019t see you as a human with emotions so they just say things and don\u2019t imagine how the person is going to feel about it,\u201d Gyakie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Forever\u2019 hitmaker revealed every member of her team is very religious and she is very grateful to God for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing we don\u2019t joke with is fasting and prayers to be very honest with you. Most of the songs that come out, we do fast and pray before we make it available on all streaming platforms for people to consume, and obviously, there\u2019s a lot of groundwork that is done to push whatever song that is coming out,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gyakie mentioned the Global Citizen Festival 2022 at the Black Star Square as the biggest platform she has mounted so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was nervous at the beginning but when I saw the people were excited to see me then I said to myself we are in for the fun and it made me so happy till the end of my performance and the entire show,\u201d she shared the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was headlined by American R&amp;B artist Usher and SZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Live Experience with Gyakie\u2019 concert is slated for this December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is also billed to perform at the Afronation and Afrochella concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/i-fast-and-pray-before-my-song-releases-gyakie\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
