Pronounced Jah-see, Gyasi seems in many ways to come from another planet, and being raised in the woods of a West Virginia holler might as well be another planet in this day and age. His parents bought him a guitar at a local flea market when he was six years old and he still hasn’t gotten rid of the fleas. He approaches his music as an all-encompassing art piece, using fashion, storytelling, theatre, and his guitar to create a transportive world for his music.
Gyasi is a front man on par with the likes of David Bowie and Freddie Mercury with the ability to play guitar like the greats.
Rodney Bingenheimer : “We may not ever have another David Bowie or Marc Bolan but we've got Gyasi which is a step in the right direction. Make sure to see him live -- There's no room for boredom when Gyasi hits the stage!”
