For roughly a decade, he's been busy developing his unique production style, living by the creed that diligent preparation must always precede presentation. In composing, Mr. Ani draws from a wide range of influences, from Hip Hop to straight ahead Jazz, from gospel to funk, from down home blues to hot buttered Soul. As such, he creates soundscapes that are as timeless as they are timely. He's had the pleasure of working with a myriad of artists representing a wide range of genres (Amp Fiddler, Veronique, Malik Alston, PKT, Inertia, Zin, Marie Brown, Black PROFIT, Taalam Acey, Mohogany Browne, et al.).Mr. Ani also has a wide range of selections geared toward film, gaming, advertisements, websites and other forms of media.
