Gyasi (pronounced Jah-see) is a captivating presence, whose origins from West Virginia have shaped his unique sound. With a guitar he got at a flea market at age six, Gyasi developed a musical style that transcends time, merging elements of classic glam rock with modern sensibilities. His debut full-length vinyl, released by Alive Records, has garnered critical acclaim, establishing him as a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music. Gyasi's performances combine thunderous riffs, masterful guitar work, and a magnetic persona that brings his songs to life. Drawing inspiration from icons like Lou Reed and David Bowie, Gyasi's music celebrates self-realization and challenges the conventions of rock 'n' roll. His shows are known for their intensity and unpredictability, making each performance a unique experience for the audience.

Critics have praised Gyasi's ability to channel the spirit of rock legends while injecting his own modern twist. Benzine Magazine remarked, "It's as if Ziggy, instead of landing in London, had made a small mistake in trajectory and had ended up in the south of the USA, and had therefore played the blues." Rodney Bingenheimer, a renowned DJ, noted, "We may not ever have another David Bowie or Marc Bolan, but we've got Gyasi which is a step in the right direction."
