Spotify recently unveiled its EQUAL hub to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March. Following on from this launch, the leader in all things audio will now expand its global commitment to promoting equity for women in music with its new ‘EQUAL’ programme, which makes its debut this May 2021.
Spotify’s inaugural class of EQUAL artists, which launches the programme, includes Ghanaian Afrobeats and Afro-fusion singer Gyakie, real name Jackline Acheampong, who is the first African creative to be selected. The 20-year-old singer, who recently released her debut EP ‘Seed’, has not only gained popularity in Ghana, but also in Nigeria and Kenya where her single ‘Forever’ is a fan favourite, with its remix featuring Omah Lay.
Other female artists selected for the inaugural class include American rapper Saweetie, Brazilian pop artist Duda Beat, British singer-songwriter Griff, Mexican Natalia Lafourcad and German singer Zoe Wees.
