Details:
In his outspoken title his songwriting and in his present presence, AAQUI (ah-khwy) proves that he is a unique and "standout" talent ready to toss his hat in the saturated and strongly competitive music arena.
At an early age AAQUI was exposed to music, grandmother a local legend in gospel, his father a successful D.J. and his mother and aunt singers in a well know gospel group. However AAQUI was never "groomed" to sing by the professionals in his family. Like so many others he sang in the church choir and did talent shows at a young age but after relocating with his mother from New York to a small North Carolina town, singing became non-existent never taking into consideration that a successful career in the music industry, would be his goal.
It was not until graduation from high school and entering a New Jersey college that AAQUI's love for music resurfaced and started to take precedence over college. After leaving college, AAQUI joined the army, where once again music was sidetracked. After time served in the military AAQUI moved back to New York and joined the gospel group his mother once sang in to refine his raw outspoken ability. While singing in the gospel choir AAQUI joined a mail R & B group but realized that solo was the best way for his talent to be show cased. He teamed with Wayne "Chordz" Gillespie producer and now business partner that helped mold and nurture his unique style to what it is today. Already known locally in the gospel circuit AAQUI has performed along with legendary gospel acts such as Fred Hammond, Shirley Ceaser as well as opened for Commission, Trin-i-tee 5:7 and Men of Standard. AAQUI has also written songs for local groups and choirs and has an extensive catalog of song lyric. Soulful, unique, powerful, talented, determined and marketable are all the qualities that stand out for AAQUI. His talent is obvious to all that have seen him perform.
