Ghanaian musical powerhouse Kaakie
will be showcasing her mesmerising Dancehall sounds on this Sunday’s live Big Brother: The Chase eviction show, as
the continent waits to see who their votes will send into the finale next week.
One of the biggest
female Dancehall acts in Africa, Kaakie has made quite an impression on the
international scene, scooping four major awards in the space of just two years.
She picked up "Best New Artiste 2012" from Yfm 107.9 Ghana, "New
Artiste of the Year" at Ghana Music Awards 2013, the
"Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year" award at the Ghana Music Awards
2013 and "Best Female Vocalist" at the recently-held 2013 BASS
Awards.
Having gained
international recognition for her Dancehall sounds, Kaakie has already shared
the stage with Keri Hilson, Bow Wow, Busy Signal, Demarco, Mavado, Kiprich,
Tiwaa Savage, Davido, Brymo, M.I, Samini, Sarkodie, R2Bees and a host of
others.

Kaakie was
discovered on Ghanaian Reality TV talent search Stars Of The Future falling just short of the final 4 stage. Her
time on the show did, however, give her the chance to meet up with renowned
Ghanaian record producer, JMJ Baby, who signed her to his label in 2012. Her
subsequent debut single, “Ewoo”, topped nearly every chart in Ghana less than a
month after it was released. Her second single, “Too Much”, gained her
international prominence in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, the UK, Germany,
Sweden and Canada.
Her debut album will
drop in September 2013 and she’s currently busy with a nationwide “KaakIt Up”
tour, running alongside her Maternal Mortality Awareness Campaign, a cause
close to her heart thanks to her background in nursing.
