Kaaki
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.
Don’t
miss Kaakie on Big Brother: The Chase
this Sunday – and don’t forget to vote! Your vote could keep your favourite in
the game, with less than two weeks before the continent finds out who will take
home the USD 300 000 prize. The housemates in danger of eviction this week are
Angelo, Bimp and Dillish. For information on how to vote, visit www.bigbrotherafrica.com. Lines
close at 06:00 CAT on Sunday morning.
