AHI

Born in Brampton, Ontario, AHI grew up in a traditional West Indian family where music was considered diversionary entertainment rather than a viable career path. And during his self-guided musical learning and travels, he had a spiritual awakening and adopted the name AHI (pronounced “eye”), drawing the letters from his initials (Ahkinoah Habah Izarh) and embracing the double entendre of the word, which also means “brother” in Hebrew.

If you take just one thing from AHI’s music, let it be this: you are not alone.“No matter how low, no matter how defeated you may feel, you’re never really on your own in this world,” he explains. “We’re all connected to each other, and when you find your calling and your purpose and you tap into those connections, beautiful things start to happen.” Prospect, AHI’s extraordinary new album, is proof of that.
