Kirani AYAT - Tuesday 2nd June Prod.BADSZN

'Daring' and 'different' are two words that describe ayat's music and stagecraft. Aside from being one of the few artists to consistently perform in his native Hausa, AYAT has carved a niche for himself in the alt-Ghanaian music scene with his genre-bending style – one which can best be described as a fusion of Afro-trap, Afrobeats and Afro-house.

Combined with an energetic performance style and unique visual aesthetic inspired by greats like Rex Omar and Fela Kuti, it’s perhaps unsurprising that mainstream audiences and music heavy weights alike have started paying rapt attention.

Still independent and 'underground', AYAT nonetheless boasts an enviable list of collaborators. He’s worked with artists such as Sarkodie, Manifest, E.L, Edem, Medikal and Suli Breaks. Production credits have come from the likes of KaySo, Nova, Kuvie among others.

In 2017, AYAT released his debut ‘The Zamani EP’ to rave reviews, and has currently released the first single off his upcoming official album ‘Aisha’s Sun’, slated for 2020. The single, 'GUDA’, was accompanied by a music video that trended online for three consecutive days upon its premiere and has won Overall Best Video at the 2019 4Syte MVA, got nominated at the 2019 VGMA in the Music Video of the Year category.
