Gyasi

Pronounced Jah-see, Gyasi might as well hail from another planet—or at least a West Virginia holler, which is close enough. Gifted a flea-market guitar at six, he’s still got the guitar (and the fleas). Gyasi’s music is a full-on art experience, blending fashion, storytelling, and guitar mastery. His debut vinyl, out now on Alive Records, pulls rock n’ roll kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Think early Bowie meets Marc Bolan, but with a twist that’s pure Gyasi. Now rocking Nashville with his theatrical flair, he’s proof that rock isn’t dead—it’s just gotten weirder and more fabulous.
