The wait is over and a music revolution has begun - after weeks of speculation ONE8 is here!
Kenya’s own superstar Amani left for Chicago over the weekend to join the other members of the Pan-African super group ONE8 as it prepares to record with an international mega-star who has shaped R & B music.
Never before has a coming-together of African musical talent happened in such a way. The collaboration on the single and video is also shattering the typical mode of Africa / Western projects. ONE8 is taking centre stage on this project and working hand-in-hand and as equals with the Chicago based international megastar and his team who are very excited to be working with such amazing talent.
Amani is one of the most talented and beautiful female stars ever to come out of Kenya. Her name is a Swahili word that literally means peace and tranquility, and the soothing sounds of Amani’s music reflect exactly that. Amani’s soothing music is urban and African, uplifting with unforgettable melodies that showcase both Amani’s vocal and song-writing talents. This talent has not gone unrecognised in the awards category with Amani having won numerous awards including the Kenya Kisima Award in 2006 for Best Female Artist and Best Collaboration, and in 2007 for Best Female Boomba Artist. Amani has also been nominated for a Channel O video award in 2008 for Best Female Artist East Africa. In 2009 she won the MTV African Music Award (MAMA) for Best Female Artist Pan Africa alongside a slew of nominations at the 2009 Channel O Music Awards.
