Background
Born Afari Ernestina, she’s currently in the 2018 VGMA’s competing under the unsung category. Dyat Gyal is one of the beneficiaries of the Zylofon Arts Fund.
The Zylofon Arts Fund is a scheme structured to support the various creative arts arms of the nation. Both locally and internationally, to boost the prominence of the Arts and Tourism in Ghana.
The young talent couldn’t further her education because, according to her , her mother and support had passed on.
Hence Zylofon Media CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah decided to put her on the Zylofon Arts Fund to see her through her secondary education.
This was however upon recommendations and proposals by Socrate Safo, Director of Projects at the National Commission on Culture.
