Gyan has been working in the area of promoting and coordinating community choral events and facilitating workshops and concerts for visiting artists for the last ten years. She has coordinated seven RhythmSong music camps since 2000, and has been organising Gospel singing weekends for Tony Backhouse (Sydney) since 2003.
Through RhythmSong, in association with Rosie Johnstone, and prior to that through Voice Moves WA, Gyan has brought a number of quality artists to Western Australia who have gone on to forge fruitful links with the WA community. These include Rachel Hore, Valanga Khoza, Stephen Taberner, Joseph Jordania, Greg Sheehan, Carl Pannuzzo, Kavisha Mazzella, Andrea Watson and Parissa Bouas of the Hottentots.
She also initiated and ran the InCahoots Music Café at La Tropicana in Fremantle between 2003 and 2006. This provided an excellent venue for local musicians, singers and music lovers to gather and perform.
Gyan has a passion for world and original music, travelling to Georgia in 2006 to attend an ethnomusicological conference in Tbilisi and take part in a two week residential workshop in Georgian singing and dancing. She is a member of the group Shalva who sing Georgian and East European music.
Her main interest lies in creating opportunities for people to discover the joy and inherently life affirming qualities of music and other creative pursuits.
