Benakay comes from a family of 5 where she's the eldest of siblings of 2 girls and a boy. Benakay attained her basic education at Faithway International School, went on to West African Secondary School for High School Education and ACE School of languages for her Tertiary Education. Benakay started music at a very early age (as early as age 4) where she sang in her school all through to Secondary School and sang in her church where she sang to large congregations. Benakay burst on to mainstream music in the year 2017 and released her first single dubbed "Cooli Down" written and produced by a renouned musician in Ghana called Akwaboah and video directed by Some Song Studios; in May 2019 which has gained her a lot of public attention and comparisons to big names like Efya, Adina, Asa and Becca. In a recent radio show hosted by a renowned radio personality in Ghana called Abeiku Aggrey Santana on Okay 101.7 fm, threw a warning to the already established Female musicians in the industry of a new emerging queen (Benakay) and that they have to buckle up work harder cos Benakay's talent and prowess is extraordinary, and that got the public talking and asking questions. What sets Benakay apart from the rest of the female musicians in the music industry is her versatility in genre of her music. She is not the typical one or two genre artistes we have these days. She is so versatile she can do almost every genre of music. Benakay has since the release of her single "Cooli Down"￼ been on all the major TV and Radio shows in Ghana and is set to release a new one featuring one of Ghana's finest rappers called Ponobiom in the coming weeks and she calls this one "No Food". She also has collaborations with one one of Africa's finest musician Mr.Eazi, which is yet to be released. If there's any word that describes Benakay best, it will be ELEGANCE. She's elegant from the way she dresses to how articulate her speeches are and also her goal in the music industry. One thing Benakay said on every single interview and show she's been on when asked about her goal and where she wants to see herself in the music industry, her answer always was "I want to be the first ever female artiste to ever nurture, groom and finance the career of other up and coming female musicians in the history of Ghanaian music" she went on to explain why that's her major goal in the music industry "our industry is male dominated and the established Female musicians also don't help the upcoming females unlike the males do. The established make musicians are more like Bigger trees with big branches" and went on to give reference to artiste like Samini who nurtured Stonbwoy and Kaaki, then Stonbwoy nurtured Kelvinboy and OV "I want to be like him. I want to be the first female to do this so the girls don't have to go through dubious mean and losing their dignity in quest to reach the top. So help me God"
