KJ Spio (@jaykjs) is a fast-rising songwriter and a one-man mood enhancer/musical multi-hyphenate from Ghana. Not too long ago, he joined forces with the talented Ghanaian singer Gyakie (@gyakie_) for their new afrobeats single “Days Pass By.”
“Days Pass By” is a beautiful and romantic afro-soul track that finds Gyakie’s rich and velvety voice soaring high above the melodies, weaving a powerful tale of a love story with emotive lyrics that ignite feelings. Produced by Blaise [Ruger, BNXN, Adekunle Gold, CKay, Davido], the track was made in Ghana in a session between KJ Spio and Gyakie.
When asked about the release KJ Spio said, “We wanted to tell a story that resonated with both of us, with this record, it’s a story we both agree on. It’s a relatable story. When you have a special bond with someone so special that you want to share it.”

Following on from an incredible roll-out releasing single after single including “Jealous” earlier this year, a collaboration between himself, UK singer Loick, Roc Nation U.S singer Ambré, and African rap giant Sarkodie, KJ showcased his eye for talent and musical artistry. Building a collection of big singles and heading towards a project release next year, KJ Spio will go on to release a remix of this track with a well-known UK/African collective.
KJ Spio
KJ Spio is a culturepreneur devoted to upping the ambiance of whatever social situation you might find yourself in. He says, “I’m all about creating a vibe that helps people have fun and enjoy themselves, whether they’re at a party or somewhere more intimate.”
Wait, you might be wondering, “What’s a culturepreneur?” For KJ Spio, the term reflects the ever-changing role he’s held down in the UK and African music industries for almost a decade now, pushing the culture forward in whatever new and exciting ways he can dream up.
Sometimes, that has meant managing artists like the late great British talent Cadet, whose single, “Advice,” KJ helped become a platinum smash independently with over 250 million streams. Other times, that has meant creative directing and A&R-ing for superstars such as Sarkodie, whose first-ever virtual concert, performing at the historic Independence Square, broke records for live streams.
Gyakie
Gyakie (Jackline Acheampong) debuted in 2019 when she released her first single “Love Is Pretty” before sharing her reputed release “Never Like This” a few months later. Best known for her songwriting ability and drawing from genuine moments of extreme emotion and experiences, Gyakie has built a large following who praise her unrivaled talent.
Drawing influence from Asa and Efya, Gyakie believes that African music is a global sound and wants to use her ability to write and sing as a way to shape the culture and show its versatility.
Charting at number 4 with her “SEED” EP in 2020 on the Triller Billboard charts, the “Forever” remix alongside Omah Lay topped charts in Ghana, Nigeria, and other parts of the world. Winning ‘Best International Collaboration of The Year’ at the 2022 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, Gyakie has since collaborated with Omah Lay, Diplo, AKA, Blaq Jerzee, Major League DJz, Mayorkun, and many more.
