Born Emmanuel Kwadwo Ayisi Oware, A.I is a versatile Ghanaian artiste who simply can’t be ‘boxed in’. His sound ranges from Afro-pop, to Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae, Soul, just to name a few.
His love for music was evident at a tender age as he was usually observed listening to his father’s large collection of records/tapes. Soon after, he’d start writing and recording his own songs following in the strides of his father who was then member of a band.
His talent left Executives of 2Ligit Records (A Ghanaian based independent record company) with no option than to sign him in 2009 and has since treated his fans to soothing melodies via 2Ligit’s African Zone Studio.
In 2013, he released his debut mixtape entiled “Mixtape Mayhem” under 2ligit records which he co-produced. The mixtape which features 13 songs, further propelled A.I to the lamplight as it enjoyed over 800,000 plays around the world.
In May 2014, He won first place in the Hip-Hop/R&B category in the International Songwriting Competition with his song “Anger Management”. A milestone which solidified his legacy as an artist here to stay since it was the first time in ISC’s 13-year history, an artiste from Ghana had won first place in a category.
Since then, A.I has worked with industry big names including Jay So, Trigmatic and EL as well as grace some of the biggest musical platforms you can think of.
In 2015, A.I. released two singles titled “Up till the morning” and “Dem Gals” which were both well received by the masses.
In 2016, A.I. and Vision Dj released the debut single “Grind” off Vision Dj’s Blow Chicken Album which received rave reviews. He also featured on Kojo-Cue’s “Tsioo Benke Mi” E.L’s “Shine” and on Trigmatic’s “Motromodwo” in the same year.
