After releasing the popular street anthem ‘Grind’ in 2016, along with a string of bangers and notable collaborations, Emmanuel Kwadwo Oware, better known as AI or Ayisi, took a bold creative turn with a project that marked a clear departure from the sound he was widely known for.
His 2022 album, Unbroken, signalled a rebirth, introducing a new sound, a refined artistic direction, and a deeper, more personal version of Ayisi.
Born out of a mentally dark period marked by broken friendships, betrayal, confusion, and emotional turmoil, Ayisi revealed that Unbroken is more than just an album; it is a deeply personal body of work.
The album, which resonates strongly with his core fanbase, has gradually gained recognition.
Its growing impact has become even more evident now, with one of its tracks, ‘Can I Live’, receiving nominations in major categories at the forthcoming Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Ayisi, who previously had no TGMA nominations, now finds himself with three straight nods from this project alone, something he admits he didn’t expect, but sees as well-deserved, much like his fans do.
These and many more personal revelations are shared in his latest exclusive interview with GhanaWebTV’s Elsie Lamar.
